I like the non-points race the night of the King's Royal. Not penalizing the teams that want to go to the Royal, and still giving the teams that can't go, or don't want to go, a chance to race. I wish other tracks would consider this for Knoxville Nationals, King's Royal, and a couple of other major events.
Also, the free admission for under twelve is great. I remember, when my son was younger, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights of the Nationals were half price under 16.

Good call on the non-points race. Hopefully the 2 day Outlaw show works, love seeing them at Knoxville.

One thing I noticed is the fee went up for tickets on the Nationals but actually they put the fee into the cost so it would be less confusion.

There never was a GM,
John McCoy is the Race Director and runs the racing (he's in charge of implementing rules).
Gary Schumacher runs the office / ticketing / hiring of staff for concessions, ticket sellers, etc..
Currently, the only vacancy is the Marketing Director (Brian Stickel's previous position) who sells sponsorships.
These positions all report to the Fairboard.
If there were a GM, those positions would report to the GM and then that person report to the Fairboard. That isn't (and never was) the case.

The Marion County Fair Association
John McCoy is the Race Director (has been since Cappi retired).
Gary Schumacher runs the day to day operations of the grounds (ticketing, financials, hiring staff, payroll, Human Resources).
Marketing Director position is open (Brian Stickel's former position).
Toby Kruse was hired as Promotor for 1 year, when he resigned as promotor, they split the responsibility among the other 3 individuals. There never was a "General Manager".
