Someone who I think surprised a lot of people this week was Emerson Axsom. Emerson was mid-pack qualifying Thursday night and missed the transfer by one place in his heat. He eventually was relegated to the Friday night program where he finished 4th in the A main and locked in to the Saturday night A main in 24th. Emerson ran a solid race last night, stayed out of trouble and got a solid 20th place finish as the ONLY rookie to make the race. |

Knoxville and Eldora are kind of the same when it comes to drivers and their tee shirt rigs…Both charge a fee to sell on the property…no idea the exact number and wouldn’t wanna speculate…
As far as Knoxville goes there’s only so much room on site that some teams (outlaws included) set up across the street in front of Hyvee , the auto parts store, the church, Dingus Parking lot…people’s front yards… Brady had his tee shirt trailer set up behind the main grandstand last week…Not sure if it’s up to each track to allow drivers who aren’t full time WoO drivers to set up but earlier this year at the WoO race at Haubstadt Brady had his tee shirt trailer along the backstretch area… |

I’ve missed going to Knoxville for the nationals 1 time since ‘87, but I’ve only stayed for Saturday once. When I first started going I had a car so I’d go out for Wednesday & Thursday to spectate then come home to race around home (sw Ohio). I got in that habit and continued even after I quit racing myself.
It’s a great event that you could even take a non fan too and they’d enjoy. I’ve been out there 4-5 times this year and wouldn’t rule out one more. |

Google says there were 25,000 people there, so that's two t-shirt sales per hundred spectators. Think that's doable for a guy like Bacon? |
