Banks, Oregon- With five races already completed in 2013 the Northwest Wingless Tour is excited to get back to racing this Saturday June 22nd. The event will take place at Sunset Speedway Park in Banks just west of Portland. It will be the third time the series has visited the ¼-mile clay oval this season.
In the two previous visits in the current campaign both Sterling Kane and Mitch Hoffses have visited victory lane. The three other events have occurred at the Cottage Grove Speedway with Kyle Miller winning twice and Kyle Mehner once.
The Northwest Wingless Tour has visited Sunset Speedway Park a total of fourteen times. Gary Davis is the all-time winningest driver with three wins since the series starting the facility in 2010. Theo McCarty, Bill Winsley, Sterling Kane, and Mitch Hoffses have two wins with the tour and are just one victory away from tying Davis’ record. Drivers who have won once include Tony Thomas, Mark Nichols, and Ryan Bothwell.
The Sunset Speedway Park is located just west of the Portland metro area in Banks on the Sunset Highway. From April until October you can get your racing fix at this facility which competes weekly primarily on Saturday nights. Regular classes in action include the NW Extreme Winged Sprint Cars, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, 4-Bee’s, NW Extreme Modifieds, and the Womens division.
