Yes, he entered a couple of weeks ago. As I understood it back then though, it was only for the prelim night. My guess is that if he does well on his prelim night then he comes back for the final. The Cup series is in Michigan that weekend and not racing until Sunday afternoon, so the travel part of it wouldn't hinder him. If there's newer information on it than that, hopefully someone will come on here and enlighten us.

a person close to the family has said that his contract with chip does not allow him to race sprints on any weekend there is a nasnap race going on. so, up till saturday he is good to go, race away...
Ascot was the greatest of all time..
West Capital wasn't half bad either..
Life is good...

Just an FYI, I think Terry McCarl knows the dates of the Knoxville Nationals. If it's possible for your family to make it to Oskaloosa on Monday, I recommend it.

Correct. I read the same info in one of the stories highlighting his recent sprint car wins. The article stated he could not run Nascar weekends per his contract with Chip. So, it is not just hearsay.

They need to write a Knoxville Nationals exception into that contract.
