FILE - In this July 28, 2006 file photo, daredevil Evel Knievel and his son and fellow daredevil Robbie embrace at the top of the landing ramp prior to Robbie's successful 180-ft jump during the fifth annual Evel Knievel Days in Butte, Mont. A struggle for control over the festival, that draws thousands of stuntmen, wannabes and fans paying homage to Evel Knievel in his Montana hometown, has led organizers to turn over the event to the famous daredevil’s family. Chad Harrington, executive director of Evel Knievel Week Inc., said the group decided Tuesday, April 8, 2014 to cut ties with the Evel Knievel Days event.
