The annual Knoxville Raceway Banquet was held Saturday evening at Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Altoona. The night included speakers and awards, with over $250,000 in cash being handed out.

As part of the awards, Executive Director of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum Bob Baker presented the Ralph Capitani Heritage Award to Craig Ford, who has been instrumental in recent support of both the Knoxville Raceway and the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum.

The big hardware was handed out to the top three drivers in the Knoxville Championship Cup Series point standings. In the Pro Series class, Chase Young (3rd), Devin Wingall (2nd) and Tyler Groenendyk (champion) were honored. It was Groenendyk’s first career championship.

It was also announced that the Knoxville Raceway Charitable Organization will again provide insurance for all 2019 Knoxville point eligible drivers. Drivers also received a $1,500 gift certificate from KRCO for safety equipment.
