We have arrived at the biggest four days on the sprint car calendar as the 65th Running of the Nos Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals gets underway tonight with Brandt Professional Qualifying Night. Half of the entrants will run tonight with the second half to run tomorrow night in a full show including time trials heat races along with a C B and an A-Main with drivers scoring points every time they hit the track excluding hot laps. Ryan Timms is the defending Knoxville Nationals winner and it is not lost on him of how special of an accomplishment he achieved last year at the young age of 18. Abreu: “When things don’t go as expected you just have to allow things to work out and allow the man upstairs to allow things to play out, and not to force anything.” KNIA will have live coverage tonight starting with Live Track Side at 5:00 and flag-to-flag coverage with Race Nights Live starting at 7:00.
