The 2019 Northwest Pro4 Alliance season is slowly approaching as drivers from the Pacific Northwest circle May 18th on their calendars.
The Alliance kicks of the new season at Hermiston Raceway (Hermiston, OR) on May 18th for the 3rd Annual Best of the West Pro4 Shootout. This is the first time the Best of the West will be held in the Beaver State as it called Idaho home the last two seasons.
Twin Falls, Idaho’s Magic Valley Speedway hosted the inaugural Best of the West Pro4 Shootout back in 2017. Moses Lake, Washington’s #4 Brad Morrison grabbed fast time as West Richland, Washington’s Steve Thompson drove his #03 to victory lane.
Stateline Speedway (Post Falls, ID) hosted the 2nd Annual Best of the West last in 2018. Boise, Idaho native and 2018 Meridian Speedway pro4 champion Brendon Fries picked up fast time in his Boise Boys Transportation/Chick-fil-a #34. Rick Thompson (West Richland, WA) would navigate his TRE #16 through a tough field to add his name to the T.I. Co. traveling trophy, taking team Thompson 2 for 2 in the Best of the West.
Defending Best of the West Champions Steve and Rick Thompson are obvious contenders for this year’s race, but the #4 of Brad Morrison will be the driver to keep your eyes on. Morrison swept the two races at Hermiston Raceway last season and the 2018 Northwest Pro4 Alliance Championship.
The list of drivers expected to join us continues as we expect a full field of pro4’s to join us for the 3rd Annual Best of the West Pro4 Shootout at Hermiston Raceway on May 18th.
