​HERMISTON RACEWAY REVS UP THE LABOR DAY SPECTACULAR

During Labor Day weekend, most of the Northwest's Speedways take the weekend off for the last weekend of summer.  For the Hermiston Raceway,  the facility will become the Northwest's Racing Capital . 

"We feel that this area has the sunshine and warm temperatures,  so why not put together a great two day show," 
says project manager Greg Walden. The event will attract over 120 different race teams from the Northwest between the two days,  filling up the hotels and restaurants in Hermiston.  "The economic impact to the Hermiston area will be well over $400,000" ,  said Walden. 

Over $80,000 in awards will be paid out between the two nights of racing.

Trevor Cristiani fresh off his win at Findlay stadium -Liberty Launch 125 in Post Falls Idaho,  and teammate Nick Gibson from Nampa Idaho- P2 in point standings for the NWSLMS Championship will be pulling TRIPLE duty running-

"I really like the group of people, the atmosphere and the promoters more than I actually like the track if I am being completely honest." laughed Crisitani  "it’s a tough track to get a hold of but you really have to do a good job at saving your equipment to make a run at the end."

Nick Gibson added-  "Hermiston is going to be bad to the bone! There are some great cars entered in all classes and it's going to be some really good racing. I'm excited to see where we end up at the end of the weekend!"
