Banks, Oregon- This Saturday September 7th the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series will be on hand for the final time at Sunset Speedway Park. Although it is not the last race of the 2013 season for the regional touring series but it will be the last trip to the “Banks Bullring”. Already this year the tour has hosted eight events at SSP.
In those eight race Greg Walters has won five of them including the Doug Walters Classic in early August. Walters is on a hot streak of four consecutive victories overall with the series as he looks for his third title in four years.
Collen Winebarger is the only other driver to have won at Sunset when the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series has visited the ¼-mile clay oval. He currently trails Walters by a mere ten points for the championship.
Both Walters and Winebarger have won the lion’s share of races in 2013 with Walters capturing seven victories over Winebarger’s five. Jerry Schram is the only other series winner in the current campaign with his one win at Grays Harbor Raceway in June. After the September 7th affair the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series will head to the Cottage Grove Speedway for championship night on the 14th.
The Northwest Extreme Late Model Series has visited the Banks bullring a total of eighteen times since the organization’s inception in 2010 with Greg Walters winning the most at eleven triumphs. Collen Winebarger has three wins while drivers with just one include Terry Ferrando, Jerry Schram, Russ Sell, and Billy Workman Jr.
The Sunset Speedway Park is located just west of the Portland metro area in Banks on the Sunset Highway. From April until October you can get your racing fix at this facility which competes weekly primarily on Saturday nights. Regular classes in action include the NW Extreme Winged Sprint Cars, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, 4-Bee’s, NW Extreme Modifieds, and the Womens division.
