Rain Forces Knoxville Nationals to Reconfigure Lineups

Rain at Knoxville Raceway forced a format overhaul for the 65th Knoxville Nationals: the top 20 prelim-point drivers are locked into the A-main on Saturday, 21–40 into the Last Chance Showdown, and 41–50 into the first five rows of the C-main, with 51+ in a shortened Hard Knox to set 11–24 in the C-main; Hard Knox will skip time trials, using preliminary night points to line up heats and noon hot laps. The change risks Donny Schatz’s 27-year A-main streak and reshuffles seedings around drivers like Sye Lynch and Ryan Timms in the revised brackets.
