NASCAR Whelen All American Series / K&N West Touring Series

Tonight was the NASCAR Whelen All America Series Awards Banquet, held in Charlotte, at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Our Track and State Champion Lane Sundholm, along with State Rookie of the Year, Joe Kneeland, gave Evergreen Speedway great representation. This event is ever as impressive as the Sprint Cup Awards Banquet.  All of the same attention to detail, along with entertainment, stories about Short Track Racers, all of the top NASCAR brass, plus a huge commitment to drivers and teams that run for the Track, State and National Championships. While the Cup gets the majority of the national attention, there is
no mistaking the level of importance Home Tracks play in the minds of NASCAR.  It is good to see them honoring and recognizing the roots of NASCAR.  The rebuilding process to regain tracks will not be an easy road, but rarely does anything of quality and value come without hard work and dedicated efforts. Hats off to the over 2500 drivers and teams nationwide who participated in the series.

Evergreen Speedway is proud to announce the return of  the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. The West Series has been absent for several years.  The event dates are July 9th and July 10th.  On Friday July 8th, Evergreen Speedway will host a "Block Party / Fan Fest Event".  Car shows, driver meet and greets, bands, and welcome back NASCAR West!  Saturday's racing program will feature Tour Time Trials, with Street Stocks and maybe Mini Stock Mania? on the 5/8's!  Late models will open up the Sunday event followed by the "soon to be released" title sponsor's 200 lap K&N feature event. Look for some exciting announcements to be coming your way very soon about this 3 day fun filled weekend. Who will be returning to the NW?  Mark your calendars, you will want to run this race. Purses... Big Purses!  Be our guests!
