There are a lot of racing fans out there – but many have never even heard of Sprint Car racing. This unique breed of racing is popular in the Midwest, and it’s characterized by small dirt tracks and big, offbeat cars. Many of these cars are immediately identifiable, some looking more like funny art projects than sleek race cars, but they pack a wallop on the track. One of the best spots to see them race is at the Knoxville Raceway – and that also happens to be where you’ll find the most unique museum in Iowa. The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum is a must-visit destination for any racing lover, where you can see some of the most famous cars of all time on display, as well as tributes to winning cars and champions of the past. And if you’re lucky, there’ll be a race going on outside!
