TreeTop 150 Leonard Evans Memorial at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval Schedule

Track: Wenatchee Valley Super Oval

Location: East Wenatchee, Wash.

Length: .250-mile paved oval

Laps: 150 (PLM), 30 (LEG)

The Spears CARS Tour Northwest Pro Late Models gear up for the second race of their inaugural campaign with the series debut at picturesque Wenatchee Valley Super Oval for the TreeTop 150 Leonard Evans Memorial.

The event’s preliminary entry list already features a fierce 31-car field of Northwest racers, making it the largest entry list to date for a Northwest event. Joining the Pro Late Models will be the Northwest Legend Car division. Fans can catch all the action live on FloRacing beginning at 7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 25.

Drivers from across Idaho, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Arizona, California and North Carolina will converge at WVSO, which is celebrating more than half a century of storied racing, with a $7,500 payday on the line and a deep pool of competition.

All will be hoping to dethrone East Wenatchee native Thomas Stanford, a two-time WVSO track champion (2024-25). Stanford enters the weekend as the series point leader and winner of the Northwest Tour’s inaugural race in front of a sellout crowd at Tri-City Raceway. Just seven points back is Spokane, Washington’s Haeden Plybon, a two-time winner of the Leonard Evans Memorial (2023, 2025), who finished second to Stanford at Tri-City.

Several well-known faces will also make their first appearance in the Northwest division, including local legend Garrett Evans, 70, a four-time NWSLMS champion. Joining the veteran are 2024 Wenatchee 200 winner 18-year-old Evan Goetz (Okanogan, Wash.), multi-time WVSO winner Chad Fitzpatrick (Lake Stevens, Wash.) and 2025 SLM track winner Alan Cress (Stayton, Ore.).

In addition to the Northwest PLMs, the Legend Car (LEG) division is scheduled for its Northwest debut Saturday night with a 30-lap INEX/CTW points race.

TREETOP 150

In addition to sponsoring the No. 62 of Keelan Harvick, locally operated TreeTop—a farmer-grown, farmer-owned cooperative founded in the heart of Washington’s apple country in 1960—makes its entitlement partnership debut with CTNW this weekend in the TreeTop 150 at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval. With seven locations in Washington, Oregon and California, TreeTop makes wholesome and delicious fruit juice and apple sauce that parents trust and kids love, using simple, quality ingredients.

WENATCHEE VALLEY REBOUND

One driver hungry for Shockwave Victory Lane is the lone Arizona native in the field, Ethan Ebert. Third in series points, Ebert led 82 laps at Tri-City before late-race contact with Keelan Harvick took him out of contention for the win. Ebert still managed a top-five finish and won Sunday’s Apple Cup SLM event a day later. He will be looking for his first CTNW PLM victory this weekend.

PODIUM POWER

Joining Ebert as series regulars coming off strong runs are podium finishers Haeden Plybon of Spokane Wash., runner-up in the Northwest’s inaugural race at Tri-City, and third-place finisher Kole Raz, 23, of Lake Oswego, Ore.

LOCAL LEGEND

Wenatchee Valley legend Garrett Evans is set to drive the iconic No. 64 entry in the 150-lap feature event. The 70-year-old East Wenatchee native and a four-time NWSLMS champion is the son of Leonard Evans, namesake of the Leonard Evans Memorial at WVSO.

FRESH FACES, DEEP TALENT

First-time Spears CARS Tour Northwest competitors include an accomplished group of drivers with extensive WVSO experience. That list includes 18-year-old Evan Goetz (Okanogan, Wash.), winner of the 2025 Western Rattler 222 at Penticton Speedway and the 2024 Wenatchee 200; Chad Fitzpatrick, 30, of Lake Stevens, Wash., who claimed victory in four PLM races at WVSO over the last two years; and 46-year-old Alan Cress (Stayton, Ore.), winner of WVSO’s 2025 Neal Newberry 125.

NORTHWEST PLM DIVISION DEBUTS

The Northwest PLM division was announced last season as the Spears CARS Tour West expands its regional footprint. The Northwest PLM division makes its debut with a nine-race schedule in 2026, beginning at Tri-City Raceway (April 11) and concluding at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval (Sept. 19).

SPEARS CARS TOUR NORTHWEST PLM FULL SCHEDULE

The 2026 PLM features a nine-race schedule that continues at Stateline Speedway (June 13), Evergreen Speedway (SW/NW Rivalry Race; June 27), Stateline Speedway (July 18), Colorado National Speedway (SW/NW Rivalry Race; Aug. 1), Evergreen Speedway (Aug. 14), Tri-City Raceway (Sept. 5) and the season finale at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval (Sept. 19).

STAKES ARE HIGH FOR NORTHWEST/SOUTHWEST SHOWDOWNS

The major highlight of the Northwest and Southwest PLM slate is a pair of high-stakes interdivision rivalry events – first at the Mark Galloway Shootout at Evergreen Speedway (June 27) and then at the Summer Nationals at Colorado National Speedway (Aug. 1). These Rivalry Races will bring together competitors from both regional divisions and crown the top overall racer(s).

RECORD SETTING PURSE IN 2026

The biggest payout in Spears CARS Tour West history is up for grabs in 2026 with $2.1 million in total payouts, including $200k in championship awards, $1.9 million in purse money and bonuses and partner awards at every race. Multiple marquee events with high-dollar purses are on the docket through the season.
