The biggest event in Sprint Car racing will again welcome a stacked field to Knoxville
Every year the NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s brings all the best Sprint Car drivers to Knoxville Raceway, and 2025 will be no different.
The 64th running of “The Granddaddy of ‘Em All” is slated for this week (Aug. 6-9) and will attract no shortage of talent. They come from the East Coast. They come from the West Coast. They come from north, south, and any other direction you can think of. They come from the other side of the globe. They come from everywhere to chase Knoxville Nationals glory.
More than 100 competitors have already entered for this week’s event. Among them are six former event champions, dozens more that have won at least one Feature at the famed 1/2 mile, and certainly some future winners working their way up in the sport.
The field will be divided in two for Qualifying Night prelims on Wednesday and Thursday that set most of the Feature lineup for Championship Saturday.
