The National Sprint Car Hall Of Fame and Museum saw their highest number of visitors in the past 9 years during the Knoxville Nationals earlier this month.

Executive Director Bob Baker says it’s encouraging and believes displays like the Salute To Champions program really draws in the crowds.

“The exhibits that we bring in are what draws the people to our museum and also to the Knoxville-area,” Baker told KNIA/KRLS News. “The more of these displays and exhibits we can bring in, the more tourists and the more visitors we can bring to our area.”

This year’s Salute to Champions features Steve Kinser and will be on display at the museum through November 15th.
