BMR Drivers Look Forward To Race At Evergreen
• K&N Pro Series West Heads To The Pacific Northwest
ROSEVILLE, Calif. (Aug. 11, 2015) – The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West heads to picturesque Evergreen Speedway for the NAPA AUTO PARTS 150 presented by Toyota on Saturday.
The event on the historic .646-mile oval is the ninth race on this year’s 13-race schedule and marks the 55th visit by the series to the fairgrounds track in Monroe, Washington.
Bill McAnally Racing teammates Chris Eggleston, in the No. 99 NAPA Belts & Hoses/H2O Fire Protection Toyota, and Brandon McReynolds, in the No. 16 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota, account for four wins in the first eight races in the series this season.
After winning the pole and finishing second last year at Evergreen Speedway, McReynolds is looking forward to returning to the Pacific Northwest. The 24-year-old from Mooresville, North Carolina is coming off a major victory, with a win in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East-West combination race at Iowa Speedway on July 31. With his win in the first East-West combo race there in May, McReynolds became the first driver with multiple wins in the prestigious event since the series started going to Iowa in 2007.
McReynolds is eighth in the standings in driver points. He has five top-10 finishes to go with his two wins, among his eight starts.
Eggleston will be making his first series visit to Evergreen Speedway. New tracks don’t seem to be a challenge, however, for the young driver from Erie, Colorado. Eggleston, who is in his first full season of competing in the series, won earlier this year in his first visit to Irwindale (California) Speedway and his first visit to Shasta Speedway in Anderson, California.
Eggleston is second in the championship standings, just two points out of first. In addition to his two wins, he has five top-five and six top-10 finishes in eight starts.
NAPA will get the weekend’s excitement started on Friday, with 50 VIPs getting a ride around Evergreen Speedway in BMR’s two-seater NAPA Toyota. More than 350 guests are anticipated on Saturday in the VIP Hospitality and Michael’s Toyota will be at the track with VIP customers and employees.
The NAPA AUTO PARTS 150 presented by Toyota will be televised on NBCSN on Aug. 21 at 2:30 p.m. ET.
