The National Sprint Car Championships for 2009 took place over eight days at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. For those who, like me, are unfamiliar with sprint cars I've included a picture of the car driven by Danny "The Dude" Lasoski to give you some perspective. The Knoxville Raceway is a 1/2 mile oval dirt track.

There seems to have been three class championships determined during the eight days of racing: 360, 410, and non-winged.

NOTE: the server for the Knoxville Raceway appears to be down (or overloaded) at present, so I can't give you more info about the raceway or the results.

My Take: It's fun to see local (around here) hero Kasey Kahne mentioned in print. Knoxville is located a few miles SE of Des Moines. Knoxville is also home to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum.

I suspect the confusion between the terms "raceway" and "speedway" have something to do with the ranking, although Knoxville Raceway is mentioned in the related searches section.
