With one race at each track, the series is seen as a spiritual successor to the popular Tri State Challenge Series that ran across Washington, Idaho and Oregon through most of the 2020s before this season.  This Saturday Nights 100 lap race at Stateline in Post Falls, ID sees the new series take on its inaugural race.  A cool $1750 awaits the winner, with an equal winners share expected at Wenatchee on August 1^st for their race in the series.  The two ¼ mile ovals coming together is nothing new, as they have done similar challenges in the past for Road Runner/Hornets, Legends, Bandoleros, and even Pro Late Models.  Now the Hobby Stocks/Thunder Cars get their shot.

The series will see a 100 lap race on Saturday June 6^th at Stateline, with a stop at Wenatchee on August 1st, lap count TBD.  Big car counts are expected for both races.  Make sure if you’re in the area for either event you come check out one of the most competitive classes in the Northwest duke it out for big prize money.
