Friday, May 13, 2005
NAPA Auto Parts joins John Deere Buck ATVs as sponsor of the 15th Annual “360” Nationals at Knoxville Raceway on Thursday and Friday, August 4th and 5th. The 2-day event kicks off 10 straight days of Sprint Car “madness” in Southern Iowa.
Karen Owen, Director of Marketing & Sales at Knoxville Raceway, commented, “As a sponsor of the Saturday night finals, NAPA Auto Parts continues a long relationship with Knoxville Raceway on behalf of over 140 locations in Iowa, and thousands of locations across the USA and Canada.” According to Randy Judge, NAPA Sales Manager for Des Moines, “Continuing the NAPA branding of Knoxville Raceway and one of its premier events ties into the overall NAPA participation with major motorsports across the USA and North America. The added tie-in to their new Web site, www.knoxvilleraceway.com, and participation in the weekly 1-hour Knoxville Raceway Report on MediaCom cable reaching across our entire home market adds to the value of our participation.”
Participating NAPA Stores will feature exclusive 360 Knoxville Nationals T-shirts and offer discount tickets to the event.
The 15th Annual “360” Nationals will feature top Sprint Car drivers and teams from across the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand as they race for the $80,000 purse. This year the entries will include many drivers and teams in town for the 4-day 45th Annual Knoxville Nationals presented by the Midwest Ford Dealers that close out the 10 days of “madness”.
The “360” Nationals will provide an opportunity to get “comfortable” with the historic half-mile, take a shot at the $10,000 winners share and add more TV exposure before they tackle the 4-day $800,000 Knoxville Nationals Wednesday through Saturday, August 10-13. The Saturday, August 13th "A" Main pays $140,000-to-win and will be broadcast live on Speed Channel from 8 to Midnight CDT.
