Evans is the defending Yakima Speedway Fall Classic winner and holds many career records on the NASCAR Raybestos Brakes Northwest Series. A crowd favorite at any racing facility in the region, Speedway officials were elated when Evans agreed to join the Sun Kings event.

“For Garrett to take the time to bring his stock car down from Ardenvoir, Wash. and display it for Sun Kings fans is a tremendous gesture on his part, we’re very excited to have him in the display,” said Doug Pace, Yakima Speedway Media Coordinator.

With the 38th Annual Apple Cup set to kick-off the racing season at Yakima Speedway, Pace said that Jefferson’s presence is also great for fans attending the Sun Kings event. “Jeff is the defending Apple Cup champion and was once sponsored by the Sun Kings. He attempted to qualify for a NASCAR Winston Cup Series event last season and it’s only a matter of time before he makes it to the next level.

“Again, we are very happy that a local NASCAR Touring division star will be taking the time to join our prestigious group of local drivers for the SunDome event.”

Evans and Jefferson will appear along side Travis Bennett, Ken Olson, Mel Shenyer and Jeff Sisk at the display. An autograph session will be held during the pre-game and post-game festivities and five race cars will be on display during the event.

All of the activity is in preparation for the 38th Annual Apple Cup, scheduled for April 11-13. The race is the traditional kick-off event for fans in Central Washington and it attracts some of the best racing talent in the region. For more information log onto www.yakimaspeedway.com
