I believe Knoxville seats about 28,000 -- the fourth largest sports stadium in the state -- with about 7,000 on the backstretch. That doesn't include suites, where you can find the latest issue of the Hawkeye Racing News.
UNFORTUNATELY, I couldn't be there but the crowd sounds similar to the 360 Nationals the night before,which would have had any promoter in the country happy. Very glad all of the naysayers predicting low car counts were wrong.
One of my photogs said naysaying at Belleville kept the Friday night crowd fairly small compared to past years.
