Where all the fun happens.

Knoxville Nationals Driver Twitter List

If you’re a sprint car racing fan, there’s no doubt that you’re tuning in to the Knoxville Nationals this week. One of the best ways to keep up with the many events is on Twitter – you can follow the track, media, commentators and, of course, drivers.

Below you’ll find a list of the drivers on Knoxville’s pre-entry list and their Twitter handles, broken into groups based on their qualifying night. A few drivers have been highlighted as notable Tweeters to follow. Read on to see why.

Wednesday Qualifiers (by car number):

0 Jonathan Allard – @allard0

1K Kyle Larson – @KyleLarsonRacin — You already know that Kyle Larson was 2011’s breakout kid, and 2012 has been no disappointment for the young star. Larson’s social media skills aren’t lacking either, and he’ll likely be one of the more avid Twitter users during the Nationals. You can expect to see updates on his progress, photos and fan responses from this account.

57 Shane Stewart – @ShaneStewart57 – The 2012 360 Knoxville Nationals winner doesn’t disappoint on the track or online, responding to fans’ tweets and retweeting relevant information when he’s not providing his own updates and commentary. Stewart will likely provide a behind-the-scenes look at the @kickkidscancer kickball game on Friday, a fun non-racing event that many of the drivers will participate in.

59 Jac Haudenschild – none

63 Chad Kemenah – @CKR_63

66 Geoff Dodge – none

71 Kevin Swindell – @kevinswindell — Much like McMahan, it seems like you can read Kevin Swindell’s mind just from his Twitter feed.

82 Justin Henderson – @Henderson_racin

88 Jarrod Schneiderman – none

89G David Gravel – @DavidGravel89G

96AU Bruce White – none

99 Brady Bacon – @BradyBacon — Bacon runs his own Twitter account, and does a great job at it. The account does quite a bit of retweeting, but he’s one of the few that gets it right with relevant and timely retweets. The account obviously doesn’t provide real-time results but it’s a great look into his team, from pictures and information about his racing to answers to questions about his always-humorous @BradysGut handle.
