This coming Tuesday local businesses in Knoxville will be welcoming race fans with the Knoxville’s “Welcome To The Nationals Party.” On Tuesday, August 6th from 5 pm to midnight events and activities will be on the square in downtown Knoxville to help welcome race fans for the 59th annual Knoxville Nationals. Brian Stickel with Atlantic and Pacific Pub tells KNIA/KRLS News Knoxville and Marion County are destinations. People come from all over to take part in our events and when they come to Nationals there is a lot of time not at the race track. Stickel says local businesses wanted to welcome race fans and give them something to do and enjoy.
