The pre-entry fee is just $30 if payment and entry form are received in the offices of the Knoxville Raceway by Midnight Central time.

The one-day international invitational for the ‘best of the best’ in 360 sprint car racing utilizes one common set of technical rules, including use of the American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) Brodix spec head.
