The sprint car division formerly known as the 305 class at Knoxville Raceway will now be referred to as the Pro Sprints presented by Pace Performance.

The class will require the CT525 Chevrolet Performance engine package to be utilized by all competitors. Pace Performance, which produces the CT525 Chevrolet Performance engine package, will also be the presenting sponsor of the Pro Sprints class.

Pro Sprint feature events will also see a purse increase, paying $600 to win and $150 to start. Three events will see additional purse increases: the Marion County Farm Bureau mid-season race championship on Saturday, June 22; the 305 feature event during the 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank on Saturday, Aug. 3; and the Mediacom season finale on Saturday, Aug. 24.

The Pro Sprints presented by Pace Performance will compete 15 times at Knoxville Raceway in 2019, starting with the April 13 Kraig Ford/PellaMotors.com Season Opener.
