YAKIMA, Washington – Yakima Speedway officials announced today the amending of the 2008 schedule to include an event for the ARCA West Late Model Challenge Series. The race will take place on Labor Day Weekend. The exact format has yet to be decided. The AW LMCS race will be held the same weekend as the ASA Northwest Tour event already set for that weekend. Track owner, Ted Pollock stated, “ We have had successful ASA Tour and LMCS races in years past, and we look forward to another great event”. He goes on to say, “ As the year has unfolded, we have been in communication with the AW LMCS and have mutually agreed that a race at Yakima is best, not only for Yakima, but for everyone involved”.

Ron Bennett, manager of Yakima Speedway and administrator for the ASA Northwest Tour, arranged a very successful meeting with Jerry Losch of the LMCS. All parties involved agreed that everyone will benefit from a closer working relationship. Jerry Losch stated, “ It’s great to have the opportunity to schedule a race at Yakima Speedway this season”. Losch goes on to say, “ Historically, our previous Labor Day weekend events at Yakima have produced great shows for the fans and drivers”.

The race will be held on the historic ½ mile track on the weekend of August 30-31. The exact day the Tour and the LMCS will race and the distance of the events is to be determined soon. The only question is what series will race on Saturday evening and what series will race on Sunday evening. It is possible that a bonus purse will be set up for racers , as they have done in the past, choose to compete in both events.

This event promises to be a great tune up for the Fall Classic that is set for October 3-4-5. ####
