The first international Knoxville Nationals Queen was crowned inside Dyer Hudson Hall Tuesday evening.

Australian Michaela Dumesny was crowned the 57th Annual Knoxville Nationals Queen taking the title over 6 other girls from all over the United States. Dumesny has been involved in racing since she was a young girl helping her father manufacture wheels until she was old enough to race junior sedans. She says racing has taught her to be versatile and independent in a highly competitive industry. Dumesny says she hopes one day to become an ambassador.
