Apr 30, 2008, 11:56 2008 Championship Battles Shape Up in Evergreen’s Racing Divisions   The NASCAR Whelen All American Series Speedway Chevrolet Super Stock Division this season has seen the biggest car counts and most side by side racing action ever in the first two events of the season.  With a new for 2008 double file restart rule, fans were treated to fantastic restarts while competitors were given chances that normally they would never have had.  Jeff Knight in last week’s main event caught a late caution flag that gave him the front row spot next to Kelly Mann.  If not for that caution Jeff may have been relegated to his battle for second place with Mike Holden and John Zaretzke, however he had the chance for a win.  So far defending champion John Zaretzke, driving for new car owners this season, has posted consistent finishes to lead the points.  Wins are what he has always been about and certainly he has the equipment and talent to get to victory stage.  However, there is a deep pool of talented drivers standing in his way, including Naima Lang with one win already, Mike Holden, Kelly Mann (last weeks winner) and Chris Preston who round out the top five in that order.         Even with Ricky “The Kid” Dietz finally defeating the hot streaking (5 main event wins in a row going back to 2007) “Cowboy” John Carlson in last week’s main event, Carlson continues to lead the point’s battle in the Pawn X-Change Super Figure Eights.  With Nick Gunderson and Bill Wade following closely behind, a host of other competitors mean to make it tough for Carlson, the defending champion, to hope for a repeat championship.    For Jim Foti in the Les Schwab Tires Bomber Division this season so far has been about consistency.  Consistently winning heat races (2-2) and placing top tens (2-2) and finding himself on top of the points standings after two main events in the 2008 NASCAR Whelen All American Series track championship season.  Foti, involved in the 2007 Championship battle, is sure to find a way to win sooner or later this season.  A veteran and respected driver, he is strong in traffic and smooth out front.   With a first and third place finish in the first two main events of 2008 “The Mighty” Josh Young finds himself the points leader in the highly entertaining and fan favorite Stinger Eight division.  With defending champion Mike Middleton and Josh Laitila tied for second place in points and “The Wizard” Ben Chandler along with Seth Funden rounding out the top five.   This week the NASCAR Whelen All American Series continues its march towards the various championships with all the classes mentioned in action and the Crash Cars! as well.  Front gates open at 5:00pm with Racing at 7:00pm.  This season all heat races begin after 7:00pm making it a non stop racing adventure keeping fans and race teams on their toes!   Don’t miss the Les Schwab Tires Evergreen Drift program this Friday May 2nd !!       Read More

Apr 27, 2008, 00:00 The NASCAR Whelen All American Series was in action at the speedway with the Speedway Chevrolet Super Stocks, Pawn X-Change Super Figure Eights, Stinger Eights, Hornets and Crash Cars!  Great weather and excited fans made for an evening of the best in Motorsports entertainment from the biggest and best attended stock car racing facility in the Pacific Northwest.  NASCAR’s only Home Track in the Pacific Northwest in proud of its top tier drivers and it’s enthusiastic fans.    Kelly Mann Wins April 26th The top tier Speedway Chevrolet Super Stocks started the evening with hotly contested heat races that featured a fabulous battle with a side-by-side, lap after lap race between Jason Frasier and Kelly Mann.  Eventual heat race winner Jason Frasier was not so lucky in the main event when a first lap melee relegated him and Jeff Holden to the pits for repairs.  As the race unfolded, Jeff Knight took command, with Kelly Mann, Mike Holden, John Zaretzke and Rookie James Mugge in pursuit.  Kelly Mann wrestled the lead away from Jeff Knight but had to battle him more than once as Evergreen’s “Double File Restart” rule for 2008 showed the fans what real short track Saturday night racing is all about.  Mann’s last restart was perfect as he accelerated to victory.  On victory stage he referred to his heat race as very exciting and really enjoyed the side-by-side action all evening long.    Ricky "The Kid" Dietz April 26th The Pawn X-Change Super Figure Eights ran another barn burner of a main as “The Cowboy” John Carlson was going for a career best six main events in a row extending back to the 2007 racing season.  Ricky “The Kid” Dietz after experiencing tough times the first two weeks finally climbed up onto victory stage.  Carlson had troubles in the main and retired to the pits as Dietz after following the Cowboy from the very back of the main to the front held off Nick Gunderson for the win.   Mike Middleton April 26th Stinger Eights had not only an A-Main but a last chance race as well!  Defending Champion Mike Middleton came from deep in the pack to dominate a main that was loaded with “intersection” as cars dodged and ducked each other with near misses and some crashes.  Another fan favorite main event in the books for the highly entertaining Stinger Eights.   Patrick Heald April 26th The always-enjoyable Hornets ran Evergreen’s custom “road course” and kept fans pointing, laughing and cheering as Patrick Heald, Chris Williamson and Chuck Brewster finished top three consecutively.  SVR Construction Services led the field on the parade laps with their shiny new dumpster delivery truck.
