We're really looking forward to this weekend,it will be someone's first visit to Iowa and most importantly the
Marion Co Fairgrounds and the famous Knoxville Raceway,not to mention the Hall of Fame,Musuem and the nice BBQ Restaurant off of turn 2.😊

[BrentTFunk]

My buddy hasn't been there since 1988. We are really looking forward to it. Purse is pretty good both nights. Love they posted the purse ahead of time. Sometimes all you know is what first pays.

Really looking forward to this one. First ever visit the world capital of sprint car racing. Still can’t believe more aren’t on board with it, but hey let’s race for 150 to start and 1500 to win and then complain when our wingless racers bolt to run wings. Probably the biggest non wing winners share in the Midwest since the Mopar Million.
I’ll be doing my part to support it, hope you do as well

[Daisy's dad]

I'll be taking that in on the way to ISW this year. Looking forward to it!!
