The Rory Price Memorial is also the NSRA Championship race.  With only 9 points separating first place Andy Alberding and second place Matt Hein, this race for the championship is a  must see event.  This is the only time this season you can see winged sprints race at Evergreen Speedway.  You won’t want to miss the NSRA’s fastest race of the season.   

The tight points battle in the Super Late Model division will be decided this Saturday.  Going in to the Championship Night, Tom Moriarity holds a 15 point lead over second place Jeff Knight.  Knight won last weekend’s race but did not gain much ground on Moriarity, as he finished second.  Daniel Moore is sitting closely behind Knight with only an 18 point gap.   This final race to the championship is sure to be one of the best races of the year!  

Defending champion of the Street Stock division, Lane Sundholm enters Saturday night on a hot streak.  Sundholm has taken away the victory in the last 2 Street Stock events.  Even with Sundholm’s dominating finishes this season he only leads second place Frank Cowgill by 26 points.  The battle between second and third continues to be a close one.  Going in to this weekend Cowgill and Darrel Lutovsky are only separated by 7 points.  With only 2 more races this season, the battle for second place will be down to wire.   

Front gates open at 5pm.  Main events begin at 7pm

SPOTLIGHT ON: Kneeland Grades On A Curve

Street Stock Driver Creates Racing Classroom At Evergreen By Paul Schaefer, NASCAR
September 5, 2010 – 4:04pm

Paul Schaefer, NASCAR has published a story about Joe Kneeland and the Rams Auto Pirates.  The Rams Auto Pirates are a club from Ingraham High School who are getting hands on experience building Kneeland’s Street Stock.  Below is an excerpt from Schaefer’s article.

“Kneeland’s pit crew is made of a student club, The Rams Auto Pirates, who attend Ingraham High School in Seattle. The students help work on Kneeland’s race car during the week, and make up his pit crew at Evergreen Speedway.”

It was an easy win if there is such a thing in the Street Stock division for Sundholm. Adding to his win total Sundholm moved one giant step towards the championship. Brian Cottrell finished second just ahead of Frank Cowgill.  

Knight got the lead on the second lap and led the entire way of the Super Late Model 30-lap main. Point leader Tom Moriarity finished second and Tom Hughs was third.

The Stinger 8 main was very eventful with plenty of traffic at the intersection. Peters did what he does best and used that traffic to his advantage. Peters well on his way to a divisional title coasted home to the win of the 25-lap feature. Cody Koroshes was second well ahead of Josh Young.

The chase for the Foster Press Mini-Stock championship did not change much with one race left this season. Winner Green is not in that points chase but second place finisher Scott LaCross now has a slim 3 point edge heading into that final race on September 18^th. Second in points and third in the race Kris Harriss lost two points to LaCross with a third place finish of their 25-lap main.

Next up at Evergreen Speedway is the Fair Demolition Derby/Fireworks show presented by the US Army on Sunday September 5^th. School Bus races, Roll Over Contest, Boat Races, Cub Scouts of America Hornets plus the ‘Death Trap Fire’ stunt. Gates open at 5pm and the smashing/ crashing action starts at 7pm.

Scott survived the 100-lap premier figure eight event. The feature began with 23-cars receiving the green flag. The race had six lead changes amongst five drivers. Shane Sawin led the most laps but a spin on lap 72 sent him back to fourth and Scott inherited the lead for good. Nick Gunderson survived a mid race spin to finish 2^nd while early race leader Seth Funden finished 3^rd.

The Super Late Model main winner Moriarity added to his total wins with his seventh this season. With two divisional races remaining, the win could carry Moriarity on to an unprecedented sixth Super Late Model championship at Evergreen Speedway. Jeff Knight finished second with Rick Hager in third.

Harris won his fourth feature in 2010. The tightly contested chase for the Foster Press Mini-Stock division title got even tighter. The win by 2^nd in points Harris drew him to only a point behind leader Scott LaCross. LaCross finished the main in second while third in points Jon Roberts finished third and remained very much in the hunt for the championship. With two races to go this season it looks to come down the final race on September 18^th to decide who receives top honors.

Renegade V-8 racer Giebel won yet another main albeit the toughest of the season. Taking the lead from Conner Graber in the final stages of the feature, Giebel had to withstand many an attempt by Graber to regain the lead. Graber finished second and Charles Sonsteng was third.
