    Knoxville Summernationals

    Thinking about making the drive from Davenport for this tomorrow. Anyone been there? Worth the 45 minute ride?!

    I've been there once. I have low expectations but it's less than an hour away and it's Super Late Models on a Tuesday. I think it's bigger than a half mile. I remember the facility being nicer than I expected, but that was 5 years ago.

      Last I knew it was still used for horse races during the fair, which is this week. It's a fairly flat track. Probably won't make race of the year, but it should be a decent show. I was fortunate enough to get a win there in the mid 90's. It's fast, but as the the saying goes, you can read the newspaper down the straightaways! As Shiny said, it's a late model race on a Tuesday night, enjoy!

            Looks very narrow, I think passing is going to be tough.

              I think you should go for sure...and then give us a report on it. Gary Webb ran 3rd at the fair races there two years ago so it can't be all bad. Probably similar to Owatonna.

                Any track within 45 minutes is worth a shot.
