Free Crew Chief Pit Passes This Saturday at Knoxville Raceway

KNOXVILLE, IA — This Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway, Mark Burch and the Team Jack Foundation will provide a free pit pass to every 360 and 410 crew chiefs in attendance.

This gesture honors the immense legacy of George Lasoski, Danny Lasoski, and Brian Brown, while celebrating the unsung crew chiefs who work behind the scenes to keep racing alive at the Sprint Car Capital of the World.

Passes are donated in memory of Jack Hoffman, Doug Clark, Barbara Lasoski, and Tom Corbin to raise awareness for pediatric brain cancer research.

Pickup Details:

Pick up your pass card at the check-in table on Saturday.

Please honor a single-pass limit if you are running double duty with one crew chief.

💔

This Miller Light is for you, Doug.

[Knoxville Raceway @knoxvilleraces]

We are saddened to share the news that our longtime friend and Hall of Fame flagman, Doug Clark, passed away today.

Doug was a true legend and a beloved part of our racing family. His passion, dedication, and presence at the track will be deeply missed. 🏁

The family would love it if you raised a cold Miller Lite in his honor and shared a memory of Doug. 🍻

God Bless.

👎🏼Unfortunately, due to the projected forecast this Saturday with high winds and cold temperatures creating unsafe racing conditions, officials at Knoxville Raceway have decided to cancel the event scheduled for Saturday, April 18.

Practice Night has been rescheduled for Friday, May 1.

We now turn our attention to a big weekend ahead — the Premier Chevy Dealers Clash, featuring two exciting nights of the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series on Friday and Saturday, April 24 & 25.
