Tennessee Knockout Confirmed For 2021
T
he 11th annual Tennessee
Knockout (TKO) has been
confirmed to take place on the
weekend of August 13-15, 2021
at the Trials Training Center in
Sequatchie, Tennessee. The
event is expected to be part of
the WESS Enduro World Cham-
pionship, as was initially planned
for 2020 prior to the Coronavirus
pandemic forcing the series to
take a one-year sabbatical.
The racing format will be like
past years with a prologue on
Friday to set amateur-racer start-
ing positions followed by two
rounds of amateur racing on Sat-
urday and a four-round Sunday
competition. The event will also
continue to serve as the AMA
Grand Championship for Extreme
Off-Road racing.
"We have had 10 great years of
TKO events and look forward to
starting on the next chapter with
more exciting news to be shared
in the coming months," said Eric
Peronnard, co-producer of the
Tennessee Knockout. "We are
working on a few new ideas and
improvements as well as work-
ing with WESS to be a part of
their 2021 series, as we originally
planned for 2020."
Red Bull will continue to be
a partner with the TKO event in
2021 with plans for broadcast
coverage. CN
The Red Bull
Tennessee Knockout
is already on
the 2021 racing
calendar.
Davies Gets Career Lifeline With Go Eleven
C
haz Davies will line up on the starting grid for the 2020
WorldSBK Championship after putting pen to paper to
join the Go Eleven Ducati satellite outfit. Davies will thus do
a bike swap with Michael Ruben Rinaldi, who took his ride
in the factory Aruba.It team alongside Scott Redding.
"I think it's a great opportunity next year for myself and
the Go Eleven Team to continue our progression," said
Davies.
"I had a great end to the 2020 season, winning the last
race in Estoril and scoring the most points in the last nine
races. Go Eleven put together a great 2020 season as
well. I think it has the makings of a really strong partner-
ship for 2021." CN
Chaz Davies will
take Rinaldi's old
bike at Go Eleven
for 2021.
