2010 Knoxville Nationals Queen Contest

Knoxville, Iowa – Knoxville Raceway and the history of the Knoxville Nationals have many endearing and heartwarming tales, but few match the suspense and drama that the twenty-five 2010 Queen Candidates will feel on August 10th.

The 50th Annual Super Clean Knoxville Nationals will crown the Queen and her court at a public reception on Tuesday, August 10th at the historic Knoxville Raceway. Earlier in the day each candidate will be interviewed and evaluated by a slate of very qualified judges.

“The Knoxville Nationals Queen has a very special role here in Knoxville.” Stated Christi Woodruff, Queen Coordinator, “She becomes a representative of the Knoxville Nationals and the history it represents.”

Entry forms are currently available online (in either Word or .pdf form) at www.knoxvilleraceway.com or by calling (641)842-5431. Queen candidates need to complete the form and submit it with a color photo and a one page synopsis on why they should be the 2010 Knoxville Nationals Queen.

During the week of the Knoxville Nationals the Queen and her court have various functions related to the races. From press conferences to awards ceremonies, the Queens are busy throughout the week.

The 50th Annual Knoxville Nationals take place from August 11-14, 2010. With a purse exceeding $1,000,000, all the top sprint car drivers in the world converge on the “Sprint Car Capital of the World” Knoxville Raceway.
