John McCoy, race director at the Knoxville Raceway, is pleased to announce the dates and venues for the SPEED SPORT Knoxville World Challenge qualifiers for 2016. This trio of events will be the only races at which American sprint car drivers can qualify for the 23rd annual SPEED SPORT Knoxville World Challenge to be held on Friday, August 12, 2016, during the 56th annual FVP Knoxville Nationals:
Tuesday, December 1, 2015 - International Sprintcar Series,
Robertson Holden International Speedway, Palmerston North, New Zealand
Saturday, January 9, 2016 - Rolling Thunder,
WXC Western Springs Speedway, Auckland, New Zealand
Friday-Saturday-Sunday, January 22-23-24, 2016 - Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic, Premier Speedway, Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia
Said Knoxville Raceway race director John McCoy this week, “We are very pleased to once again partner with Greg Mosen at Western Springs, Bruce Robertson at Palmerston North, and David Mills at Warrnambool on these qualifiers. It is my understanding that Americans Steve Kinser and Brad Loyet have already made their intentions known that they will be venturing ‘Down Under’ in order to qualify for the SPEED SPORT Knoxville World Challenge. All American sprint car drivers are encouraged to compete in one of these three qualifiers in order to represent the USA in mid-August. I would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank the good people at SPEED SPORT magazine for all of their support of this event, whose mission is uniting nations through motorsports.”
