KNOXVILLE, Iowa – With a little more than a week left in the battle for the Priority Aviation $20,000 Sponsorship, Carson McCarl continues to maintain his position at the front of the pack.

The cut off for donations/memberships towards your favorite race team/driver end at 6 p.m. CST on Wednesday, July 31.

It is still a very close race and no driver is out of the running. McCarl currently holds the lead in the race for the sponsorship over Lance Dewease and McKenna Haase.

The opportunity benefiting the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum for a $20,000 sponsorship from Priority Aviation is available to any driver competing at Knoxville in August at either the 360 Nationals or 410 Nationals.

Currently, 20 drivers have taken advantage of the contest. McCarl leads Dewease, Haase, Bill Balog, Sammy Swindell, Tyler Courtney, Tanner Holmes, Jac Haudenschild, David Gravel, Sheldon Haudenschild, Scott Thiel, Austin McCarl, Parker Price-Miller, Craig Dollansky, Clint Garner, California’s Mason Daniel, Kyle Larson, Chad Kemenah, Joe Beaver and Shane Stewart.

All that sprint car teams and fans need to do is have their prospective members or donors visit www.SprintCarStuff.com and order a membership there, or contact the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum and request membership packets or make a donation.  If ordering online, specify your driver or race team in the “Notes” section on the final page.

The museum can ship membership and donation information out for the drivers and teams to pass out at their races in July.  The driver or team with the highest amount of donations returned to the museum before July 31, will receive the $20,000 sponsorship funding.

All funds collected will go towards paying off remaining construction costs on the Bryan Clauson Suite Tower. Memberships start at $25 per year, but any donation amount will be accepted. So everyone can afford to help out their favorite race team and the museum.
