60th Anniversary Season Starts Saturday at Skagit Speedway


 
4/14/2014
 
Alger, WA – Skagit Speedway kicks off their 60th year of entertaining families on Saturday night with four classes of action set to take on the 3/10 mile oval. This season is lining up to be a monumental year for the Alger, WA track as a host of recognizable veterans and new rookies are prepared to burn methanol and kick up some clay in pursuit of individual accolaides and season championships.
 
What makes 2014 such a promising season for both the fans and drivers is a fantastic schedule of events that gives drivers a chance to shine at some premium events while delivering entertainment dollar bang for the buck. For the first time in recent memory, Skagit Speedway and Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, WA have cooperated on scheduling, so that fans and teams will have no major conflicts on big events at either track. The highlight of the scheduling cooperation comes with the Summer Thunder Series 360 Sprint Cars, a traveling series between the two tracks featuring 8 total shows for enhanced purses every night.
 
The first of three scheduled fireworks nights is slated for the John Carroll Classic on May 24th. Skagit Speedway will host the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup presented by Jack in the Box featuring 410 Sprint Cars on June 26th, 27th and 28th. Dirt Cup kicks off a full slate of big events through the heart of the summer, followed by Mid-Season Championship night and Les Schwab Fireworks Extravaganza on July 5th. The Bob’s Burgers and Brew Summer Nationals featuring the 360 Sprint Cars runs July 25th and 26th and one month later, it’s a three day event featuring the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Cars beginning August 28th as they compete in the Monster Energy Meltdown.
 
Six different divisions will compete for season championships at Skagit Speedway in 2014, beginning with round one of the Foothills Toyota Racing Series this Saturday night. Kelsey Carpenter returns as reigning champion in the 360 division, with Derek Roberts and Colton Heath both eager to knock him off his newly acquired throne. The 410 Sprint Cars are wide open coming into 204 and it’s anyone’s guess who will reign supreme in the “Thunder and Lightning” division. Steve Parker won the Sportsman Sprint championship last year and returns with a brand new engine and renewed vigor to add another title to his already impressive resume. Zach McCabe, Tyler Fox, Cory Swatzina and a massive influx of rookie talent are promising to keep the Sportsman Sprints as “must see racing” every time they hit the track. Outlaw Tuners return to Skagit Speedway for their 10th season with Rick Young looking to repeat as champion over Brandon Berg, Freddie Vela and a whole host of drivers looking to call themselves champ. The Shipwreck Bead Modifieds are back for their second season of racing at Skagit Speedway with Craig Moore and son Kyler returning to the track for six nights of competition. The USAC Midgets also return in 2014 with five nights on the schedule and a healthy mix of veterans and rookies coming back this year.
 
Skagit Speedway’s 60th Anniversary Season begins Saturday night, April 19th with the 360 Sprint Cars, 410 Sprints, Sportsman Sprints and Outlaw Tuners competing in round one of the Foothills Toyota Racing Series. Ticket information as well as gate times and a full season schedule are available online at www.skagitspeedway.com or over the phone at 360.724.3567.

Drivers Gearing Up Yakima Speedway’s 48th Annual Apple Cup



YAKIMA, Wash. (April 7, 2014)-The name may be tied to a more famous football game between in-state rivals but race fans know Apple Cup means the start to another season of action at Yakima Speedway.
Set for April 11-13, the 48th Annual Apple Cup event features the Columbia River Legends Series, the track’s Super Stock division along with the West Coast Street Stock Series. Highlighting the weekend will be the prestigious super late model teams of the Northwest with their 125-lap main event set for Sunday afternoon.

Known as the Northwest’s oldest late model race, the Apple Cup champions list features some of the region's top names in short track racing including Don Dowdy (seven Apple Cups in an eight-year span), Gordy Haines (inaugural winner), Derrike Cope (three-time winner and 1990 Daytona 500 champion) and Jeff and Jason Jefferson who are the only brother combination to win the race (in 2002 and '03 respectively).

Owen Riddle, the two-time and defending champion of the Apple Cup, will be back in 2014 to add to his chances for trophy number three in as many seasons. Last year Riddle became the first driver since Travis Bennett (2006-07) to win the race in two consecutive seasons.

Of note, Bennett returns to the driver’s seat this weekend for the first time in many seasons. The Ellensburg native will be driving for car owner Rick Suran who is based in Estacada, Ore.

Others to watch for during Apple Cup weekend include past Apple Cup champions Mike Longton, Pete Harding, Garrett Evans, and Shane Mitchell along with young guns Tayler Riddle, Braeden Havens, Nicole Behar and Blake Williams.

Also expected to compete will be 2013 Yakima Speedway Fall Classic champion and current NASCAR K&N Pro Series driver, Cameron Hayley. He will be joined by another rising star as California’s Austin Reed will be making his first career start at the famed Yakima half-mile Both drivers will be racing out of the Jefferson Racing stables led by Jeff and Jason Jefferson.

Morgan Morrison, the reigning Super Stock track champion, will be out to claim his first-ever Apple Cup main event victory in the division when racing gets underway this weekend. Morrison was consistent en route to the championship and will need that same approach if he is to best the likes of Trevor Flora, Don Klang and Brian Pepper.

Leading the charge for the West Coast Street Stock Series will be the likes of two-time champion Andy Stibal, Kim Wennerberg, Dave Lund and Bryon Getz. A local favorite will be out to etch his name on the division’s Apple Cup trophy as 2013 West Coast Street Stock Series Rookie of the Year, Buck Noel Jr., will be pulling double-duty between the division and his Super Stock entry. Noel has yet to break through for that elusive first victory on the Street Stock Series, but, has many wins in the Super Stock portion of the Apple Cup.

The Columbia River Legends Series will feature a wide-open battle of veterans and rising stars looking to claim a piece of Apple Cup weekend.

Nic Carey is the defending Apple Cup champion, but a strong field including local driver Jake Woods will challenge this weekend. Woods is a Terrace Heights native who came on strong during the latter stages of the series 2013 season including a strong run in Wenatchee for the season-finale prior to being collected in an early race incident.

Others to watch for in the Legends event include Randy Schaff, Chance Overholt and Duane Swanson.
Racing gets underway Saturday at 1 p.m. with time trials followed by trophy dashes and heat races. Also taking place during the afternoon will be qualifying heat races for the late model teams.
Sunday main events get started just after 1 p.m. The Super Stocks will be the first main event of 2014 followed by the Columbia River Legends Series, a 60-lap main event for the West Coast Street Stock Series and wrapping up with the 48th Annual Apple Cup scheduled for 125 laps of excitement.

The Apple Cup will be the inaugural race for the newly formed Tri-Track Late Model Series, which travels between Yakima Speedway, Hermiston’s Super Oval and Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval.
