Gary Lewis is the defending champion of the ASA Northwest Late Model Tour while Joey Tanner was named the 2009 series Rookie of the Year. The 2010 season gets underway March 27 at Evergreen Speedway and travels across three states and British Columbia.

The annual visit to Yakima Speedway for the ASA NWLMT brings with it an added purse courtesy of the Northwest’s engine builders. The 4^th annual Engine Builders Challenge has the winner of the race winning $3000.00.

After a rainout in March that forced the revamped ASA Northwest Late Model Tour to shift its season opener to Wenatchee, the 26-year old series prepares for its 2009 kick-off event.

The American Speed Association Northwest Late Model Tour has signed a national sponsor for its upcoming season. iRacing.com will replace Aero Exhaust starting with May 2 opener in Wenatchee.
