Quote from Levi Jones, driver of the No. 20 TSR/Chevrolet/Spike

Are you looking forward to heading back to Knoxville Raceway to compete in the USAC Midget Series this weekend?

“This weekend is going to be a lot of fun. With a full year of midget experience, I think this trip is going to be one where we’re looking for the win rather than just trying to gain some seat time. You’re always trying to learn something at each event, but this year’s race will be much more familiar. Racing at Knoxville Raceway in any type of car is pretty cool. It’s a big, fast track that has a lot of history. It would be really cool to get my first midget win with Chevy at a track like Knoxville. ”

Quote from Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., driver of the No. 21 TSR/Chevrolet/Spike

This weekend’s doubleheader at Knoxville Raceway will be your first start at the facility in a USAC Midget. Are you looking forward to competing in a non-winged car at the track?

“Knoxville Raceway is one of my favorite tracks to race at, regardless of the type of car we’re running. I am looking forward to getting back on the dirt this weekend, especially at a track that I’m pretty familiar with. We know we’ve got a good shot at winning this weekend, especially with one midget win already this season. With a two-day show, we’ll have two shots at getting Chevy and Bass Pro Shops in the winner’s circle. ”
