Knoxville Raceway Debut … Nicknamed the ‘Sprint Car Capital of the World,’ Knoxville Raceway, located in Iowa, will host the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the second consecutive year. Best known for hosting one of the most prestigious events in sprint car racing, the Knoxville Nationals, ‘The Granddaddy of Them All,’ Knoxville Raceway is perhaps one of the most famous dirt ovals in the world.

This weekend marks Kris Wright’s debut at the Knoxville Raceway with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Dirt Track Stats: This weekend marks Kris Wright’s second dirt track appearance with the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Earlier this season at the Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway DIRT, he finished in the 33rd-place with a 30th-place qualifying effort.

The Wexford, Pa., -native has limited experience on dirt. Wright has three INEX U.S. Legend Cars International starts on the dirt tracks of Moler Raceway Park, located in Williamsburg, Ohio, as well as at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex in Peebles, Ohio. Of those INEX U.S. Legend Cars International events, he captured two heat race victories as well as a second-place finish and a fourth-place finish.
