National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum, Knoxville, Iowa;
The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum’s Non-Profit Foundation was founded in 1986 by some of sprint car racing’s visionaries, including Knoxville Raceway Promoter Ralph Capitani, Casey’s General Stores Founder Don Lamberti, sprint car builder CK Spurlock, and others who wanted to both promote the future of sprint car racing, and also preserve sprint car racing’s history. The museum was opened in 1991 in turn two at the world famous Knoxville Raceway, and operates year-round seven days a week for race fans to come in and learn more about sprint car racing. An average of 30-35 open-wheel race cars are always on display, and the exhibits and race cars are loaned to the museum by the owners and fabricators who have restored the race cars. So the sprint cars and exhibits on display are always changing throughout the year, offering race fans a variety of open-wheel race cars to enjoy on every visit. The museum is dedicated to promoting the future of sprint car racing and preserving the sport’s history.
