Family Ties in Early Pre-Entries for 50th Anniversary Good year Knoxville Nationals!

(Bill W) Drivers are taking advantage of the early entry process for the 50th Anniversary Goodyear Knoxville Nationals, and the entries have a bit of a family theme. Uncle Dean Jacobs and his nephew Lee Jacobs are entered, as is the father/son Aussie duo of "Mad" Max Dumesny and his son Mitchell. They join the Kasey Kahne Racing team trio of Joey Saldana, Paul McMahan and Brad Sweet, multi-time Huset's and River Cities Speedway champion, Mark Dobmeier, and 2007 Sprint Invaders Rookie of the Year, Jordan Goldesberry.

Three rookie of the year contenders have already entered including Mitchell Dumesny, Colin Entwisle from Baypark, New Zealand, and Atkinson, Nebraska's Ron Krysl. For a full list of entries visit our 50th Anniversary Goodyear Knoxville Nationals page in our "Events" section.

Entries received before July 15, include a $100 registration and ensures $20 pits passes for up to five crew members. Entries received after July 15 will be $200. Without entry fee, pit passes will be $45 per crew member per night.

A choice number of seats still remain for the 50th Anniversary Knoxville Nationals that will pay out a purse exceeding $1,000,000. The richest purse in the history of sprint car racing will be headlined by a 50-lap feature that caps off the four-day event, August 11-14, 2010.
