The Marion County Fair Association has named Toby Kruse as the new General Manager and Promoter of the Knoxville Raceway and Marion County Fair. Kruse will be one of two people replacing Ralph Capitani, who is retiring after this year.

Kruse says that he is honored to have been selected from so many qualified candidates and says he looks forward to the challenges ahead. He adds that the facility, rich tradition and history at Knoxville Raceway leave him with a sense of awe. Kruse has previously served as a promoter for events at the Buena Vista and Marshaltown Speedway, as well as for the IMCA Late Model series events.

John McCoy had previously been named the Director of Racing, another role that Capitani filled.
