NASCAR CUP SERIES CHAMPION Kevin Harvick TO RACE WENATCHEE 200
WENATCHEE, Wash. — Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval is proud to announce that NASCAR Cup Series Champion Kevin Harvick will compete in the prestigious Plumb Perfect Wenatchee 200 Saturday May 30th, bringing one of the most accomplished drivers in modern stock car racing to North Central Washington.
The Wenatchee 200 is a $25,000-to-win Super Late Model event, with an increased $2,000 guaranteed to start the race, making it one of the richest and most competitive short-track events on the West Coast. Harvick’s entry elevates the event to a new level, offering fans a rare opportunity to see a NASCAR champion compete on the historic ¼-mile oval in Wenatchee.
“I’m looking forward to being part of this year’s Wenatchee 200,” said Harvick. “It’s a marquee event for our CARS Tour West Super Late Models and will be my first time racing there. The fan support, racing talent, and quality promotion make it a standout event on the schedule.”
Harvick, the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series Champion and one of the winningest drivers in the sport’s history, has long been known for his success across multiple disciplines, from NASCAR’s top level to short-track racing nationwide. His decision to race the Wenatchee 200 underscores the growing national reputation of the event and Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval.
“This is huge for our fans, our drivers, and our community,” said Jeremy Anders, General Manager of Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval. “Having a driver of Kevin Harvick’s caliber choose to race the Wenatchee 200 validates what we’ve been building here. With $25,000 to win and $2,000 to start, this race is truly becoming a must-run event for teams across the country.”
In conjunction with Harvick’s appearance, Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval will offer a very limited number of exclusive Kevin Harvick VIP Ticket Packages. These special packages will include tickets to the Wenatchee 200, an exclusive pre-race meet-and-greet with Kevin Harvick, food and drinks, and a swag bag.

The Wenatchee 200 will feature top Super Late Model drivers from across the West Coast and beyond, with Harvick joining an already elite field. The event is expected to draw a packed grandstand, increased regional tourism, and national attention.
