Matt Wood was promoting the USAC Nationals race several of the days of the Knoxville Nationals in front of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum. When the event was announced, my wife and I considered going, but we decided to wait and see how this first year went. We do not camp (my wife’s idea of camping is a Holiday Inn Express) and in all honesty, we had a little trouble finding information about local places to stay. I did express this to Matt Wood when he asked if we had our tickets to the event as we walked out of the Museum, and he said he needed to include a link to local hotels if he has the event next year. Although we are on a fixed income, I am not opposed to paying a somewhat higher ticket price IF the facility and competition is worth it AND the payout to the racers is higher. Hopefully, Matt Wood gives this event a chance to grow, although it sounds like it may be off to a rough start this year.
