We are very proud to announce a NEW working agreement with NASCAR and the
WHELEN ALL-AMERICAN SERIES. This will continue Evergreen Speedway's long standing partnership with NASCAR. New emphasis will be placed on enhanced membership fees, competitor information, sanctioning fees and a business model developed for drivers, fans and the track. This move will allow us to highlight our teams, drivers and classes not only regionally, but nationally. Look forward to a marketing plan that will bring media exposure through radio, TV, print and social media to Evergreen Speedway all season long, with news following soon about Major Featured events for the 2011 season.
We are as equally proud to announce that FOSTER PRESS will return as the class sponsor for the NASCAR MINI STOCKS! A special thank you to Vern and the Foster team for their dedication and commitment to racing at Evergreen.

Championship Awards Banquet this year?
Hi everyone,
We have been getting many, many inquiries about the 2010 Awards Banquet.
At this time we cannot answer these questions. Should we become involved in
the near future, we will post information accordingly. If this becomes a
High Road Promotions event, we will ask for your help through communicating your
ideas and suggestions.
There are a few questions for you and the teams. I know there have been banquets
at different locations over the years. What type of banquet would you
and your teams suggest? Black Tie vs Suit or Sport Coat vs Business Casual?
What is the maximum cost per person or couple? Do you like the past format
or would entertainment be better? Any comments?

Questions * Employees * Rules * Fall Racing *
As the current race season is winding down, and champions are being crowned, there are lots of questions and concerns moving forward. The great news is that all of you really care about the sport and are excited to be involved with the future. In this report I would like to address a few items and ASK YOU to respond to a couple of questions!
1. We would like to have a meeting with all of the Evergreen Staff shortly after the last race.
Please plan on something near October 5th, 6th or 7th. I will try to get a date that fits
your current work schedules.
2. We have been talking with several other tracks, and gathering information from you, the
drivers and teams, to make rule packages that are consistent, economical and competitive.
3. If there is enough interest, we would like to schedule the "October-Fast 200" on the 23rd.
Have Enduro races from Hornets, Stingers and Mini-Stock classes? This would give us
experience with the staff, and a working relationship with the teams as we transition to the
2011 season. This "special" race would have great purses in all classes!
Please let us know what your thoughts are about this race!
Thanks again,
Doug and Steve

County and Speedway updates!
Hi Everyone!
We apologize for the gap between our last posting. It has been extremely busy, but productive, with all the meetings and negotiations behind the scenes. From the county, to tire manufactures, vendors, NASCAR, ASA, to sponsors and civic groups, we are covering lots of topics in preparations for our 2011 Racing Season. We could not be more pleased on how much progress has been made in a relatively short time. As we transition into our new role we want to continue to thank the fans, the drivers and the community for your interest, insight, and passion to make Evergreen Speedway the best it can be. It seems almost on a hourly basis that our team or the racing community comes up with great ideas for the near future! We know the end results will be great for all. The emphasis in the beginning is to bring in some new equipment, much needed painting and remodeling of many of the Grandstand and office facilities. Our new contract provides our team with a 25 year agreement with the county. Given the length of the contract, we are excited to commit our resources and experience to restore the heritage of Evergreen Speedway. Everything will not be done within a 1 or 2 year window. ( unless we hit Mega Millions.. lol )...Barriers, PA, Lights, Suites, track resurfacing, score boards to name a few are on our short list. These are over and above a groomed infield, painted walls, grandstands and restrooms brought up to new standards. Much progress has been made with the food vendor, Premiere.
Our goal is to create a great working relationship between the teams and drivers, the county, the track and the food provider. Communication and Cooperation will be key components to everything High Road Promotions does with all of our business partners. Together, we will make Evergreen Speedway the premiere venue for racing, and year round entertainment events.
Without addressing each and everyone individually, it is nearly impossible to stress the importance of the relationships we need to develop, to be completely successful. By successful, I mean a facility to be proud of, a track that any driver would love to compete on, a community that understands the passion of our sport, and the ability for all our teams to compete at an economical level.
thank you,
Doug, Steve and Traci

Fall Racing Events
As the regular season of racing is nearing an end, we would like to explore several ideas for some fun and entertaining events for the remainder of the year. One might be a Hornet and Stinger Enduro race with a sizable purse for each class. Maybe highlight some of the best NW Drifting drivers, with promotions and advertising to create a better awareness of the sport. Year-end derbies and special feature races with mega payouts?
Please give us your thoughts about attending or participating in late season racing. Our goal is analyze logistic, manpower and equipment needs as we move toward the 2011 season opener.
Steve, Traci and I very much appreciate the dozens of drivers, teams and fans who have emailed us with ideas and suggestions for facility, fan, driver, class and rule enhancements. There are NO bad ideas in brainstorming!
We will never be able to utilize every idea, but he assured, we will read and listen to any suggestions to create the best Speedway in the West. This facility belongs to each and every one of us.
