The City of Knoxville recently made a proposal to have a sister city, in Warnambool, Australia, based on the sprint car racing connection between the two. Knoxville City Manager Harold Stewart says that several months ago, Knoxville Raceway General Manager Brian Stickel and some other Raceway representatives traveled to Australia to speak to council members in Warnambool and develop a cultural and tourism-related relationship. Australian media reports that the Warnambool Council has unanimously voted to indicate a willingness to enter into a five-year arrangement with Knoxville.
