KNOXVILLE, IOWA: A new paint scheme, vendors and wet conditions were the highlights Wednesday at Knoxville Raceway.

Showers and projected severe weather forced the postponement of the opening night of the 54th annual Knoxville Nationals.

Wednesday's qualifying night will be run Thursday at 7:15. The Thursday program will be run as soon as the Wednesday program is complete.

Before officials called the program, we were able to get a couple shots of Paul McMahan's new paint scheme and show other scenes from around the speedway.
