15th Annual

July 26-28
Pacific Raceways
Pacific Raceways, 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 championship races since its return, particularly in Pro Stock. For the last 14 years, the driver who has left the event with the points lead has won the Pro Stock championship. Last year, Gary Scelzi and Whit Bazemore won Top Fuel and Funny Car for the first time in 2001, Mark Osborne defeated teammate Darrell Alderman in an all Hemi-powered-Neon Pro Stock final.
