The Marion County Fair Board made no decision on finding a replacement for former Knoxville Raceway General Manager Brian Stickel, but did name two people to fill-in for the rest of racing season.

Fair Board President Dennis Haselhuhn told KNIA/KRLS News that John McCoy was named interim promoter and Gary Schumacher interim business manager during a special closed session Tuesday.

Stickel resigned in protest on August 3rd after the Fair Board decided to put an approximately $7.4 million raceway expansion project on hold.

Haselhuhn says further discussion on finding Stickel’s replacement will occur over the next several weeks.

The board also approved the dates of July 15th through the 21st for the 2016 Marion County Fair.
