Evergreen Speedway Super Speedway of the West! – Northwest's Destination for Motorsports!
For more than two decades, fans around the Pacific Northwest were entertained by the best in the NASCAR Northwest Tour as they traveled from city to city.

Some of the drivers will also be competing in the race including Harding, who announced this will be his last race at Evergreen Speedway as he wraps up his 50-year racing career.
“The NASCAR Northwest Tour was a huge part of my life and my career. We raised our family around the tour and I couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up my Evergreen Speedway racing career than this event,” said Harding.
“We’re excited for this night as drivers, teams, and fans come together to honor these Great NW Champions and to relive the history of such a great time of racing in the Northwest. Evergreen Speedway has been a pillar for marquee races many years and for many more to come” said Evergreen Speedway President Doug Hobbs.
