"If you are a sprint car racing fan anywhere in the country, indeed anywhere in the world, this is the place to be to see the ‘best of the best’ over the course of 8 nights in ten days," said Knoxville director of racing Ralph ‘Cappy’ Capitani. "And we are talking non-winged 410’s, and winged 305’s, 360’s and 410’s."

Add to that sanctioning by the American Sprint Car Series (ASCS), All Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC), United States Auto Club (USAC) and the World of Outlaws (WoO) – and Capitani said this year’s Cox Design Iowa Speed Week, which includes the August 8 ASCoC Front Row Challenge and the August 9 USAC Ultimate Challenge events at nearby Oskaloosa, may be the "best ten consecutive nights of sprint car racing ever!"
