Brad Shearer - water truck 101 at Knoxville Raceway

Precious few people would understand the effort, the energy and the science that goes into preparing the race surface at Knoxville Raceway. Chris Dunkin and his small but mighty team of dirt disciples prepare the hallowed race surface at the Sprintcar Capital of the World. The track prep with farm machines and Chris’ phenomenal feel for what it needs requires many different facets to make it whole. Brad “Wingnut” Shearer recently took me for a spin in the water truck to explain his link in this huge chain. Ride along in the Mack with Brad and I.
