Chad Little, a former NASCAR Camping World Series West champion and three-time winner of the 500-lap event at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Wash., is slated to be a part of this year’s Washington 500.
The Tacoma, Wash., native — who now works for NASCAR, serving as director of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour — will be on hand to greet fans and sign autographs at the track.
Little was the 1986 Rookie of the Year in the NASCAR Camping World Series West and a year later won the series championship. He scored five wins, 21 top-five and 24 top-10 finishes in 33 starts between 1985 and 1993. Little won the 500 at Monroe in 1986, 1988 and 1989.
He went on to compete in all three divisions of NASCAR on a national level. He raced in 217 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events, with a best-finish of second in 1998.
Little had six wins, 27 top-five and 44 top-10 finishes in 134 starts in the NASCAR Nationwide Series — where he was named Most Popular Driver in 1995. He made three appearances in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 1995.
