Lebanon, Oregon- The Northwest Extreme Late Model Series will make their only 2013 appearances to the Willamette Speedway this weekend for the annual Clair Cup on Saturday May 25th and Sunday the 26th.

In those twelve races there have been six different winners with five of them winning on more than one occasion. Jason Wines has the most series wins with a total of three while Jerry Schram, Greg Walters, Russ Sell, and Trevor Glaser have each won twice.
