The long-awaited grand opening of the Bryan Clauson Suite Tower at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum is tomorrow.
The 12-suite tower broke ground in spring of 2017, and will now be ready for the opening weekend of the Knoxville Raceway 2018 season this Friday and Saturday. Director of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum Bob Baker tells KNIA/KRLS News the tower has been in the planning stages since 2009 when the waiting list on suites was growing too big and no suites were opening up, so the plan began to find a way to get more suites and more revenue to the Hall of Fame and Museum. All 12 suites have already been sold for the upcoming raceway season. The grand opening will run from 11am-2pm, and is free and open to the public.
