The grand opening of the Bryan Clauson Suite Tower at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame was this morning.

Over 200 people showed up for the event, which saw a ribbon cutting ceremony, a plethora of guest speakers from all around the country, and a tour. An emotional Tim Clauson, Bryan’s father, addressed the crowd saying that Bryan being inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame this summer says a lot about his accomplishments as a driver, but the new suite tower says a lot more about who Bryan was a person.

The Bryan Clauson Suite Tower overlooks turn two of the Knoxville Raceway with 12 suites and a sixth floor observation deck. All 12 suites have been rented out for the 2018 Knoxville Raceway season, which is scheduled to start this Saturday weather permitting.
