In preparation for the Knoxville Nationals, the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce is asking for residents who are interested in hosting race fans in their houses, campers, or other properties to register for the Nationals Housing Program. Chamber Director Emma Skahill says this will be done through a new tourism website.
“This year, it’s going to look a little different because we have our new tourism website: ChooseKnoxvilleIowa.com. If you’re a Knoxville area resident and you’d like to host some race fans this year, you can go online and list your house. There is no fee. Race fans will be able to browse all the listings, find the one that’s the best fit for them. They can then reach out directly to you and you all can work out the details from there. It’s a great way to make a little extra money if you’re comfortable with hosting some race fans in your home.”
