Back in the Seat … Jake Bollman is back in action on Saturday night for the ARCA Menards Series West’s second-consecutive visit to Tri-City Raceway (TCR). The driver of the No. 19 NAPA Auto Care Chevrolet SS has been a force in his limited schedule this season while sharing the seat with Daniel Hemric and Christian Eckes. Bollman and Eckes have combined to place the NAPA Auto Care Chevy in the top-three in three of the last four events, including Bollman’s first-career victory at Colorado National Speedway (CNS), which also marked BMR’s 100th win in the series.

Heating Up … Since recovering from a punctured tire and a sub-20th place finish in his first start at Phoenix raceway, Bollman has been one of the hottest drivers on the circuit. In addition to his win at CNS, Bollman has led 124 laps in the last three races. The young Californian has tallied two pole awards at Tucson Raceway and CNS and led the first 49 laps in his last start at Kern Raceway before succumbing to a mechanical issue. Eckes most recently finished second at Sonoma Raceway and Bollman hopes to continue the No. 19 team’s success in his first start at TCR.

BMR in Washington … Bollman can create another bit of history for BMR if he can roll into victory lane on Saturday night. The organization is looking for its first TCR victory in the team’s appearance at the Washington short track. Jack Wood scored BMR’s best finish at TCR in 2024 with a third-place effort.

Jake Bollman Quote:

On making his first AMSW start at Tri-City:

“I’m looking forward to the challenge this weekend. Tri-City is a really unique track and unlike any other place on the schedule. We’ve had great NAPA Auto Care Chevrolets over the last few races and hopefully we can capitalize on it again this weekend. This whole BMR team has done a great job of being prepared and showing up with speed. If we can qualify up front like we’ve done and keep the long-run speed in the car, I think we will put ourselves in good position at the end of the night.”
