The time tested battle of which school is better – University of Iowa or Iowa State University – will take center stage at Knoxville Raceway on Saturday, May 12.
Vermeer Iowa vs. Iowa State Night will feature three classes of sprint car racing, but also host a contest asking fans to vote for which school they like better. To vote, fans are asked to make a donation of any amount throughout the night to the school of their choice. At the end of the night, the school that raised the most money will have its flag flown over the historical racing venue throughout the rest of the 2018 racing season. Fans are encouraged to wear their favorite school’s apparel as well.
In the 2017 inaugural Iowa vs. Iowa State Night, Iowa received more than $800 in donations, besting Iowa State supporters by nearly $500. The University of Iowa Hawkeyes flag has presided over the raceway ever since. The flag will be taken down at the start of Vermeer Iowa vs. Iowa State Night on May 12, with the winning school’s flag raised at the end of the night.
