In the 62 years that the Knoxville Raceway has held weekly races, no female has ever won a sprint car A-Main feature in any class.
That all changed last night when McKenna Hasse on a lap six restart pulled away to become the first female to win a sprint car A-Main. Her win was in the 305 class. Hasse also had to endure many yellow flags and the threat of rain to get the win. Haase is a senior at Carlisle High School, and graduates as class valedictorian today.
