Everyone knows the Knoxville Nationals is one of the biggest races in the nation, maybe the world. That now has some backing as the Knoxville Nationals came in 3rd in the USA Today’s Ten Best Reader’s Choice list for Best Motorsports Race. Only the Indianapolis 500, which was #1 and Formula One United States Grand Prix, at #2 outranked the Nationals. The Nationals beat out iconic races like the Daytona 500, and Rolex 24 of Daytona sports car race. This year’s Knoxville Nationals will be August 9th-12th. KNIA will provide live coverage of all four nights of this year’s Knoxville Nationals.
