Knoxville Raceway will open its 2026 season tonight with a two-day World of Outlaws event.
Last week’s Kraig Ford/Pella Motors Season Opener with free tickets for all fans was postponed to May 2nd due to weather. This weekend’s World of Outlaws show will kick off the racing season at Knoxville Raceway and will feature some of the top drivers throughout the sport. Starting tonight, races will be held nearly every weekend at Knoxville Raceway until the end of August. Typical race nights include three classes, including the pro sprints, 360 sprint cars, and 410 sprint cars.
Tonight and Saturday, hot laps will start at 6:30 pm with racing starting at 7:45 pm. The racetrack has also launched a new fan zone sponsored by Marion County Bank. The Knoxville Fan Zone will serve as a central hub for fan engagement, featuring interactive activities such as the new Knoxville Raceway show car and racing simulator. There will also be a mock victory lane and a duplicate feature winner’s trophy for fans to take pictures with. To purchase tickets and view the 2026 Knoxville Raceway schedule, follow this link.
