KNOXVILLE, IOWA (July 27, 2012) – Stacy Ervin of the Knoxville Raceway will again moderate this year’s “Women in Sprint Car Racing” forum at the seventh annual Knoxville Nationals Fan Fair. Amongst her group of interesting and informative panelists are Naomi Grimes and daughters Linda Selvage and Teri Riggins, Lori McCarl, Kendra Jacobs, and Barb O'Brien
Museum curator and fan fair coordinator Tom Schmeh said today, “Stacy Ervin’s ‘Women in Sprint Car Racing’ forum has always been one of our most popular fan fair programs. Stacy generally lines up ‘take charge’ individuals as panelists for these forums, as they are good role models for young women wanting to enter the sport, and this year is no different. Fans won’t want to miss this forum on Thursday, August 9, at 3 p.m. on the second floor of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum.”
