KNOXVILLE, IOWA (July 10, 2008) - As the days wind down until the final entry deadline on Wednesday, July 23, for the tenth annual Brodix Tournament of Champions sprint car race to be held at the Knoxville Raceway on Sunday, August 3, Daytona Beach, Florida’s Matt Tiffany becomes the thirtieth and latest entrant for the $5,000-to-win contest. The one-day international invitational for the ‘best of the best’ in winged 360-cubic-inch sprint car racing utilizes one common set of technical rules, including use of the American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) Brodix spec head. Tiffany, an upcoming student at the University of Central Florida, will be representing the ASCS Rebel Region in the tournament field.
Tiffany will wheel the MJT, L.L.C.-owned, Don Ott-powered Shaw chassis sprint car number 19T, which is sponsored by C-n-B Mushroom Farm of Avondale, Pennsylvania.
