With weather models showing severe storms expected to bring heavy rain and the potential for hail and tornadoes to Knoxville Raceway Saturday afternoon and into the evening, World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and Knoxville Raceway officials have agreed to cancel Saturday’s portion of the Premier Chevy Dealers Clash in the interest of fan and competitor safety.
With initial weather reports providing an optimistic chance to race on Saturday, officials attempted to give drivers and fans a full race day. But with the turn in the weather, the decision was made to cancel.
