KNOXVILLE, Iowa — With weather models showing severe storms expected to bring heavy rain and the potential for hail and tornadoes to Knoxville Raceway Saturday afternoon and into the evening, World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and Knoxville Raceway officials agreed to cancel Saturday’s portion of the Premier Chevy Dealers Clash in the interest of fan and competitor safety.
With initial weather reports providing an optimistic chance to race on Saturday, officials attempted to give drivers and fans a full race day. But with the turn in the weather, the decision was made to cancel.
The World of Outlaws now turn its attention to three races next week beginning with a May 1 trip to Jacksonville Speedway in Illinois.
Knoxville Raceway’s rescheduled Pella Motors/Kraig Ford Season Opener is May 4.
