KNOXVILLE, IA (June 6, 2007) - The Knoxville Racing Charitable Organization (KRCO) benefit softball game, featuring the World of Outlaws (WoO) drivers versus WoO officials, will take place this year on Tuesday, August 7, at Youngs Park next to the Knoxville Raceway. The game will begin at 10 a.m. and will benefit the KRCO, which helps injured Knoxville Raceway-related sprint car drivers and their families. It is being held on International Day in Knoxville, which is part of the celebration surrounding the 47th annual SuperClean Knoxville Nationals.

The KRCO benefit softball game is one of many activities coordinated by the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, which will take place during the Cox Design Southern Iowa SprintWeek, August 2-11. Amongst the WoO drivers that have committed to playing in the fan-friendly game are Danny Lasoski, Paul McMahan, Joey Saldana, Dion Hindi, Brian Paulus, Randy Hannagan, Justin Henderson, and Australians Brooke Tatnell and Kerry Madsen. They will take on WoO administrators like recent National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee Shane Carson and his team of sanctioning officials. Knoxville Raceway employees and officials, led by marketing director Brian Stickel, will also be involved. The game will be played in a fun and relaxed environment, and will receive support from the half-mile dirt track and its Junior Fan Club.
