The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West will stage a race this weekend at Portland International Raceway road course with the presentation of the Bi-Mart Salute to the Troops 125.
Series’ point leader Greg Pursley will be the one to watch as he will attempt to add another win to the six he has already scored in eight races so far this season.
Second in the standings is series’ veteran Moses Smith. With a road racing background, Smith is hopeful of breaking through with his first career series win at Portland.
Michael Self and Luis Martinez Jr. – who are third and fourth in points, respectively – are also looking for their first career win.
In addition to the series’ regulars who will tackle the 1.967-mile Portland road course, the entry list is comprised of a contingent of drivers who each year focus primarily on the road course events.
This event will also mark the return of Andrew Ranger at Portland International Raceway. Ranger, a two-time champion of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, competed at PIR when he was racing in the Champ Car World Series in 2005 and 2006, finishing seventh and ninth, respectively.
