Knoxville —

A star-studded 24-car field is set to take the green flag tonight for the nineteenth annual SPEED SPORT Knoxville World Challenge. The line-up for the 20-lap $10,000-to-win finale, based upon a 12-car inversion of qualifying night points for the eligible drivers, is as follows:

Row 1: Sammy Swindell USA Jason Johnson USA

Row 2: Paul McMahan USA Daryn Pittman USA

Row 3: Shane Stewart USA Kyle Larson USA

Row 4: Ian Madsen AUS Lucas Wolfe USA

Row 5: Jason Meyers USA Donny Schatz USA

Row 6: Jonathan Allard USA Craig Dollansky USA

Row 7: Tim Shaffer USA Brooke Tatnell AUS

Row 8: Kerry Madsen AUS Jamie Veal AUS

Row 9: James McFadden AUS David Gravel USA

Row 10: Glen Saville AUS Lynton Jeffrey AUS

Row 11: Trevor Reynolds AUS Domain Ramsay AUS

Row 12: Danny Smith USA Marty Perovich AUS

According to Tom Schmeh, who co-founded the World Challenge back in 1994 with Jon Evans, Ralph Capitani and the late Ian Sheppard, “This certainly has been a different year, with no Canadians and no New Zealanders competing in the Knoxville Nationals. Then, this spring, after taking Premier Speedway’s David Mills’ advice into consideration, we decided to lower the starting inversion from 16 to 12, based on qualifying night points. Well, as it turns out, we have 11 Americans in the first 12 positions, with Ian Madsen being the lone Aussie. And we have Sammy Swindell starting on the pole position. I am not sure that anyone could have predicted that on Tuesday.”

The SPEED SPORT Knoxville World Challenge is a points-paying round of the Cox Design & Metal Fabrication Iowa Speed Week, August 2-11, which awards the Jesse Hockett “Mr. Sprint Car” title.
