Bill W's Notes for 5/16
Welcome to Jersey Freeze/Dennison Racing Tees Night at Knoxville! Free admission tonight for Jasper, Marshall and Poweshiek County residents! It's a gesture for thanking those fans for dealing with the Mile Long Bridge closure in 2025.
70 sprint cars have entered for tonight's racing amongst the three classes. Hopefully, you can make it out, even if you're not from the FREE counties tonight! If you can't make it, you can find stories here, and lineups and results at the MyRacePass app. If you're interested in the PPV Broadcast, visit www.DirtVision.com.
