Wenatchee 200 at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval Schedule  

Track: Wenatchee Valley Super Oval  

Location: East Wenatchee, Wash. 

Length: .250-mile paved oval 

Laps: 200 (SLM) 30 (LEG) 

The Spears CARS Tour West Super Late Models make their first trip to Wenatchee Valley Super Oval for the Plumb Perfect/Wenatchee 200, one of the marquee Pacific Northwest events on the season schedule, featuring a hefty $25,000 to win.  

With 24 cars from eight states already entered in the first 200-lapper of the year, the field is big, but the $25,000 payday is even bigger. To date, it is the richest winner’s purse of the 2026 season. Live coverage of the Plumb Perfect 200 at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval will stream on FloRacing beginning at 4:30 p.m. PT (7:30 p.m. ET) on Saturday, May 30. 

Headlining the event is the anticipated return of Kevin Harvick in his first race back since Kern Raceway in March. Joining Harvick are the stars of the SLM division, led by point leader Jace Hansen, Taylor Mayhew, Keelan Harvick, Vito Cancilla and Bryce Bezanson. 

But if history is any indication, experience may be the winning factor at the fast quarter-mile oval. The local talent on the entry list possesses that in spades, led by Owen Riddle of Naches, Wash., the defending winner of the Wenatchee 200 who owns several high-profile wins on the Pacific Northwest circuit. 

Fellow Washington native Evan Goetz and Oregon’s Kole Raz will both be looking to return to Shockwave Victory Lane at the quarter-mile oval. Goetz won the event in 2024, while Raz captured the victory in 2023. Carrying the hot hand into the weekend is Stayton, Ore.’s Alan Cress, winner of the first Spears CARS Tour Northwest PLM race at the facility in April. Cress is also a previous SLM winner at Wenatchee. 

The Frank’s Radio Legend Car (LEG) division is also on deck with a deep field for its 30-lap feature race on Saturday night, including Kaleb Keck of Benton City, Wash. Keck won at Wenatchee in April.  

TALENT-RICH FIELD

The level of talent in the Spears CARS Tour Super Late Model field runs deep, with a host of drivers bringing impressive résumés into the weekend. In addition to the drivers listed above, strong performances have been tallied by Kasey Kleyn of Quincy, Wash., who scored a runner-up finish in the most recent Wenatchee 200. Spokane, Wash.’s Haeden Plybon has an SLM win to his credit at WVSO, while Johvan Dillon of Meridian, Idaho, won the 2025 Leonard Evans 150 for the SLMs. And Glenn Knutson of Quincy is always a contender at the track. 

DIVISION LEADERS

Of the full-time SLM drivers, it’s Evan, Colo.’s Jace Hansen with the best average finish among series regulars at 2.0. Young Keelan Harvick is not far behind with a stout 3.7 average finish. The duo are the only full-time drivers with top-five finishes in every race this season. Bryce Bezanson holds two top fives, while Vito Cancilla has one top-five effort to accompany his three top-10 finishes. Strong runs have also come from Ethan Ebert of Tucson, Ariz., and Dylan Zampa of Napa, Calif. Both drivers own a pair of top 10s on the year and are searching for their first 2026 SLM victory. 

BACK FOR MORE

Following the conclusion of his broadcast duties with NASCAR on FOX, Kevin Harvick is set to make his second SLM start of the season and first at WVSO. Harvick looked to have a win all but in the bag in the closing laps in his most recent SLM race at Kern Raceway, but a cut tire dopped him to third with Jace Hansen scoring the victory. Harvick led 105 of the race’s 125 laps. 

SEAT TIME

Track experience will be key at Wenatchee this weekend, with several SLM drivers having raced in the Northwest PLM debut at the facility in April. Among them are winner Alan Cress and Vito Cancilla, who drove to a runner-up finish in the 125-lap event. Kasey Kleyn (third), Ethan Ebert (fourth), and Kole Raz (eighth) also posted strong finishes. Jason O’Neil, Keelan Harvick, Haeden Plybon, Bob Presley and Evan Goetz also competed in the PLM event. 

TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

Any driver looking to etch their name among the victors at WVSO will have to outrun two of the SLM division’s heavyweights in Jace Hansen and Bakersfield, Calif., native Taylor Mayhew, winners of the first three races of the season. Hansen has led a series-high 146 laps to Mayhew’s 44. But it’s Mayhew who has surged to win two of the season’s first three races — both in the waning laps — and trails Hansen by just 10 markers in the championship battle. Hansen has led the point standings since Kern Raceway. 

SLM 2026 SCHEDULE: In addition to this weekend’s race at Wenatchee, the division races at Tri-City Raceway (July 4), Evergreen Speedway (Aug. 13-15), before circling back to The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (Nov. 14) for the season finale.  

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.
