14th Annual

Seattle Int'l Raceway, with a picturesque view of Mt. Rainier as a backdrop, hosted its first national event in 1975. After an eight-year hiatus, it rejoined the tour in 1988 to host the Northwest Nationals, which has played a pivotal role in Winston championship races since its return, particularly in Pro Stock. For the last 13 years, the driver who has left the event with the points lead has won the Winston Pro Stock championship. Last year, Jeg Coughlin Jr. lost to Richie Stevens in the Pro Stock final but retained his points lead and went on to win his first Winston title. Gary Scelzi (Top Fuel) and John Force (Funny Car) also won.
