The decision comes after the announcement from Knoxville Raceway regarding venue changes for this year’s Cappy Classic and Knoxville Nationals. Front Row Challenge promoter Terry McCarl decided it would work best for fans and the teams to move the Ultimate Challenge to Sunday. This will allow built in rain dates or a two day break before returning to action at Knoxville Raceway, August 13, 2020.

“None of our decisions have come without communication and thought,” McCarl stated, “With this year’s situation, we all have limits regarding grandstands to go by, but we definitely have an advantage with the infield open to fans with plenty of room to social distance.”

Terry also reiterated that the Southern Iowa Fair board have been great to work with and we continue to enjoy working with them. McCarl also encourages everyone to support this year’s Southern Iowa Fair, July 20-25. The fair will feature Diamond Rio in concert, July 25th.
