The Harris Clash is an annual stock car racing event held in July at the Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. It is widely regarded as being one of the best IMCA modified races in the country, drawing hundreds of cars and thousands of fans every year.
The Harris Clash was started in 1992 by Bob Harris of the Harris Auto Racing Company as a challenge to other racing chassis manufacturers. Not only is the winning driver of the race given national recognition, but unlike other major events, the car manufacturer is also given major exposure. The event has grown to include three classes: IMCA Modifieds, IMCA SportMods (which is an entry-level modified division) and IMCA Late Models. In 2011, the modifieds competed on July 5, while the late models and sport modifieds will compete on July 26.
