Grudge Match – Pacemakers Dragway @ Pacemakers Dragway
May 11 @ 1:30 pm – 5:30 pm

What is a grudge match? Historically, it pits two rivals against each other in an ancient conflict!

The KCH Grudge Race is a fun, hot rod version of this time-honored rivalry. Sponsors and their cars will battle it out on the race track and all for a great cause—to raise funds and awareness for KCH’s vital work in Knox County. Sixteen racers will go head-to-head in a single elimination tournament on Pacemaker’s National Hot Rod Association drag strip—a blistering 1/8th of a mile. Blink and you might miss something! Root for your favorite driver as they demonstrate their grit, determination and driving skills. Who will take the Knox Grudge cup? Come to the track and cheer on your champion!
