Knoxville Nights

David Gravel just won his third straight World of Outlaws championship at World Finals. Josh, Blake, and Kade recap the finale and share their top moments of 2026.

David Gravel and Big Game Motorsports enter the World of Outlaws World Finals at Charlotte with a 124-point lead and a shot at a third straight championship. Buddy Kofoid and Roth Motorsports lead the series with 17 wins, so the question is whether wins or points decide this title fight.

We recap the Texarkana debut and preview the Nov. 4-7 World Finals with DIRTVision's Conner Wade.

Giovanni Scelzi won three straight, including both nights at Texas, and Rico Abreu still took the High Limit title by 31 points. Josh, Blake, and Kade break down the All-In Championship Weekend, the 2026 season, and Buddy Kofoid's 16th World of Outlaws win at Belle-Clair.

Ross Wece from World Racing Group and DIRTVision sits down with us to tell the story of how he got into dirt racing. He also shares the Chase Briscoe and Christopher Bell couch story and breaks down how dirt racing content and live streaming are changing.

Chase Dietz won the 64th National Open at Williams Grove Speedway, and in this episode Blake Walker and Dawson Elliott break down the weekend. They debate whether the National Open still deserves crown jewel status, whether it needs a new format, and why more High Limit drivers weren't in the field.

Jack Anderson is back, and he breaks down his first trip to Eldora and a tough sophomore year at Knoxville. Josh and Dawson talk with him about a tumultuous 2026 and what 2027 looks like for his team.

Garet Williamson spent the 2025 season earning World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year honors, then opened 2026 chasing his first series win through a string of close calls. He finally got there at River Cities Speedway on August 28th, breaking through weeks after nearly winning on his Knoxville Nationals prelim night.

J Kinder ended the 2026 season as the all-time Pro Sprint feature win leader at Knoxville Raceway, with 20 career wins and track championships in 2014, 2025, and 2026. He sits down with Josh and Kade to walk through his first Knoxville win in 2012, the run at Lake Ozark Speedway that pulled him away from weekly racing, and what brought him back in 2023. He also settles whether he's actually retiring, or just the yellow 88.

Ryan Timms capped his Leighton State Bank 410 championship at Knoxville Raceway with his seventh feature win of the year on Season Championship Night. Tasker Phillips erased a 79-point deficit to edge Kade Higday for a second straight Randall Roofing 360 title, and J Kinder locked up his third Pro Sprints championship.

Kade Higday heads into Knoxville Raceway's season finale with the 360 track championship still up for grabs against Tasker Phillips. Josh, Blake, and Kade share their last Knoxville Nationals thoughts, then go through what Saturday night has to look like for it to go Kade's way.
