USAC National Champion Levi Jones Enters Non-Winged Knoxville Nationals, As Do Dave Darland and Henry Clarke

KNOXVILLE, IOWA (March 23, 2010) - Defending United States
Auto Club (USAC) Sprint Car Series national champion Levi Jones of Illinois
has entered the inaugural Non-Winged Knoxville Nationals on Sunday, August
8, as have veteran Dave Darland of Indiana and up-and-comer Henry Clarke of
California. Jones, the North American Non-Winged Sprint Car Poll "Driver of
the Year" in 2005 and '09, drives for Tony Stewart Racing (TSR). The 'early
bird' entry deadline is fast approaching on Thursday, April 15.

The inaugural Non-Winged Knoxville Nationals will pay $5,000 to
win and $425 to start, with those that 'do not qualify' set to earn $200.
The event is an official point race on the 2010 Amsoil USAC Sprint Car
National Championship series schedule. In 2009, the one-day Non-Winged
Knoxville Nationals was cancelled due to rain.
