Knoxville Raceway Hosts Eleven FVP National Sprint League Shows in 2016!

Knoxville, IA (October 13, 2015) – The FVP National Sprint League will continue its strong alliance with the Knoxville Raceway in 2016.  “The Sprint Car Capital of the World”, Knoxville Raceway, in Knoxville, Iowa will host eleven NSL events in 2016.  That will include a large two-day event July 1 and 2.  Knoxville Raceway will continue to offer their hefty $100,000+ 410 Knoxville Championship Cup Series point fund plus contingencies.  The shows will occur in conjunction with the Jackson Speedway, who will host the NSL on Friday nights.

The NSL enjoyed a successful inaugural season in 2015, and shared one thing with Knoxville Raceway…its champion.  Danny Lasoski won his tenth Knoxville Raceway track championship as well as winning the NSL title.  Knoxville hosted four NSL events in 2015.  Lasoski took two of those wins, while Terry McCarl and Justin Henderson took the others.

Knoxville Raceway will play host to a large NSL two-day event on July 1 and 2 as well.  NSL members participating in 100% of the series’ events will also be racing for more purse money next season!

The 2015 FVP National Sprint League included some of the best drivers in the world.  Among its ranks were Lasoski, seven-time Knoxville Raceway champion, Terry McCarl, two-time Knoxville champ, Brian Brown, 2014 Knoxville titlist, Ian Madsen, two-time “King of California”, Tim Kaeding, seven-time IRA champion, Bill Balog, two-time USAC sprint and midget champion, Bryan Clauson, five-time Huset’s Speedway champion, Mark Dobmeier, Knoxville one-lap track record holder, Brooke Tatnell, 2015 Knoxville Nationals World Challenge winner, Lynton Jeffrey and many more!

Knoxville will join Jackson Speedway in Jackson, Minnesota as frequent homes for the NSL in 2016.  Jackson will host twelve NSL 410 and 360 events, primarily on Friday.  The Jackson Nationals will now be run over three days, September 2-4.  This major event will include NSL 360 and 410 drivers from across the country!

Around a dozen additional events will be added to the NSL schedule.  Many of those events will be co-sanctioned with other sanctioning bodies.

I beleive that is a shot across the bow of Badlands/Husets

So basically whoever wins the Point's title for the NSL will most likely be the Knox Champion.???    When are they going to change the name from Knoxville Raceway to the NSL Raceway.

"Suck it, Chuck Brennan"

-Todd Quiring and Knoxville Raceway

So, will the dozen or so additional races be at the around 15 other tracks that supported the NSL in its first year? Or, has NSL abandoned the idea of supporting 410 racing throughout the other area states besides Iowa and Minnesota?

So competition breeds increased purses for all.... didn't see that one coming.

You mean a guy that makes his fortunes by taking advantage of people put out a bogus schedule? I believe it was pointed out, at that time, that the NSL would not be at husets/badlands on May 21 and some of you said we didn't know what we were talking about. 

305's are the herpes of sprint cars

That is weird cause 2 of the dates on the badlands schedule are taken by knoxville and the 3rd one is a rainout date for jackson huh?

Good question, maybe they told the NSL to take a hike.????

It only increases the purse money if you race  100% of the NSL shows.    So are the drivers and owners paid at the end of the year?????

Husets/Badlands has already taken off the NSL dates on their 2016 schedule.

Imagine that a little premature again in a press conference. Let me guess they took the 2 day outlaw show off the schedule too

I believe that already happened this year...

Outlaw 2 day show still there as of an hour ago.

Smart thing would be for Badlands to cooperate with the other tracks and go back to Sunday nights for the 410's. That would give the teams that do travel 3 shows a lot of weekends, and 2 every weekend. 

Pretty low grade saying you have NSL dates when you don't.  What else will he lie about? If the crowds are not there how soon will he lower the purse?

NSL was a great show at the tight quarter at Farmington, Mo - really hope they come back in '16

Agreed, there has been discussion of making the Queens Royale a NSL show.  That would be great.

BINGO, I JUST SAID THE SAME THING

AND ALSO JACKSON IS HAVING 9 TO 11 NSL SHOWS. BIG MOUTH CHUCK SHOT HIMSELF IN THE FOOT THE WAY IT SEEMS TO ME, ALSO OUTLAWS ARE CONFIRMED JUNE 24TH IN JACKSON. SO BY THAT IT TELLS ME THAT THERE MAY NOT BE A 2 DAY SHOW THAT CLOSE TO JACKSON, MY OPINION

The only thing I take from this is not negative for Badlands/Husets.  Looks like pay is going up if you play ball, so the committment by Brennan to increase pay at his track has forced the hands of others to do the same.
