KNOXVILLE, Iowa – Approaching Memorial Day, Pennsylvania Posse runner Robbie Kendall continues to lead the chase for this year’s Priority Aviation $20,000 Knoxville Nationals sponsorship. However, the last few weeks have seen several drivers making moves up the leaderboard.
Ohio’s Jac Haudenschild, competing in his final season of sprint car racing, now trails Kendall and is just ahead of Dominic Scelzi, who recently swept four features during the Peter Murphy Classic weekend in California.
National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee Lance Dewease, the inaugural winner of the contest, is currently fourth ahead of Carson McCarl, McKenna Haase, Brian Brown and the Black Pearl No. 101 sprint car team, based near Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Priority Aviation $20,000 Knoxville Nationals sponsorship program has returned with added vigor this year, as second place will receive $10,000 and third place earns $5,000. All drivers and teams competing at either the Knoxville 360 Nationals or the Knoxville Nationals are eligible to participate.
The inaugural year of the program in 2019 brought in more than $60,000 to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum that season.
All that sprint car teams and fans need to do is have their prospective members or donors visit www.SprintCarStuff.com and order a membership there, or contact the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum. If ordering online, specify a driver or race team in the “Notes” section on the final page.
The driver or team with the highest amount of donations returned to the museum before July 31 at 6 p.m. CT will receive the $20,000 sponsorship funding.
Memberships start at only $25 per year, but any donation amount will be accepted, so everyone can afford to help out their favorite team and the museum.
