Tony Stewart-Curb/Agajanian Racing (TSR) driver Donny Schatz and the Arctic Cat/Ford Performance-backed team returned to historic Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway this past weekend with something to prove. After a handful of frustrating weeks of results with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Craftsman Sprint Car Series, Schatz opened the Brownwells Big Guns Bash with a third-place finish Friday and broke through Saturday night with a flag-to-flag triumph to earn the team its 10th WoO A-Feature win of the season.
KNOXVILLE, IA — June 9, 2017 — Kasey Kahne Racing driver Brad Sweet scored his second consecutive win (after last week’s Jackson Nationals win), second Knoxville Raceway career win, and fourth win of the season during Night One of the Brownells Big Guns Bash at Knoxville Raceway, leading all 25 laps of the Feature from green to checkers after starting on the pole.
The battle between the Outlaws and Team Knoxville began with one of each in the front row — Sweet and Brian Brown. But the unexpected challenger appeared in the form of rubber about 15 laps into the race.
CONCORD, N.C. — May 24, 2017 — When it comes to providing a fan friendly atmosphere, no track does it better than Knoxville Raceway. Knoxville is one track that every Sprint Car racing fan wants to visit; not just because of the storied track history or the action around the track grounds but for the activities that the track offers.
Brownells, the world’s largest supplier of firearm accessories and gun parts, has partnered with Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway as the title sponsor of the two-day World of Outlaws Craftsman®Sprint Car Series event on June 9 and 10.
The Brownells Big Guns Bash pits the country-wide traveling World of Outlaws drivers, including nine-time Knoxville Nationals winner Donny Schatz, against the Knoxville Raceway drivers who compete at the track nearly every weekend from April through August.
The World of Outlaws extends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ralph Capitani.
Capitani was instrumental in growing the sport of sprint car racing, and more significantly, in the overall growth and development of the legendary Knoxville Nationals.
“Ralph was a visionary promoter in the sprint car racing world,” said World of Outlaws CEO Brian Carter. “I enjoyed the opportunities I had to learn while working with him. We will miss him.”
