Knoxville Raceway seating

[Cycsk]

All of Knoxville Raceway seating is General Admission for World of Outlaws this weekend. We have never been there before, but intend to go this weekend. Hoping some of you can give us recommendations on where to sit? Thanks in advance.

Frontstretch? Near Turn 1, middle, or near Turn 4?
Backstretch? Near Turn 3 or middle?

High row? Middle? Low?

Front stretch 1/2 way up or higher, but below the roof supports. Middle. Have fun.

I always sat in the middle on the turn 4 side of the front stretch.

Probably should have just PM'd you!

Sitting low will allow you to adequately social distance and get to the concessions quickly, but you'll be covered in dirt...

I usually go to the pits. I love being right next to the track.

I saw Kyle Larson is already there. I'll put my money on him or David Gravel.

Come on. "David Gravel!" What kind of a name is that for a dirt track racer?

 

[Cycsk]

How early do we need to arrive to get a decent seat?

 

[isufbcurt]

I'd be there soon after the stands open.

Kyle Larson wins night one with a late race pass. Can he go 3 for 3?

I'm also a big fan of Rico Abreu.

Thanks Curt. Keep giving me the inside scoop on who to cheer for and what to know so that I can pretend that I actually know what I'm doing there tonight!

Larson has been on an absolute roll this summer in the sprint car. The only blemish is destroying a car in the heat at Husets. If he wins, watch for his wife shotgunning a beer in victory lane.

Love Rico. What blows my mind is it seems Schatz has fell off a cliff this year but he’s still top 2 in points.

 

[Cycsk]

Schatz just had to replace an engine before hot laps.

Great time at Knoxville. Loved the format. Sat next to some nice guys from Oklahoma (OU fans) who drove up for the races. They really knew their stuff, so that made it even more fun.

@isufbcurt knows his racing. The three he mentioned finished in the Top 4.

1. David Gravel
2. Kyle Larson
3. #49
4. Rico Abreu

David Gravel just ran away with it for most of the race. Kyle Larson almost got a pass in traffic on the last lap, but Gravel fought him off and kept the lead.

Is Larson a bully? Or just a racer at another level who takes more chances than other drivers?

Larson took out one of the Top 5 cars early in the race when he slid from inside out right in front of us in the middle of the Frontstretch Grandstand. Maybe something made him make that radical move, but the crowd booed Larson when they showed the replay.

Midway through the race, Larson ran up on the tires of Rico and looked like he nearly knocked him out too.

I understand that it is a rough sport, but Larson seemed to go too far. I'd love to hear what the other drivers thought of his performance. Larson didn't offer any acknowledgment in his post-race interview about knocking another top competitor out with a wild move.

Was Gravel just hugging the inside berm, whike Larson rode the cushion?

Larson is aggressive in the sprinter, but you have to be in those things. All those guys have a wire loose in their head. He wants Knoxville BAD, so not surprised it was ramped up more than usual.
