Notes: Chuck Wares returns to the Chilly Willy 150 this year searching for his second straight victory in the $10,000-to-win race. Before driving full-time for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Noah Gragson will try to seek the biggest Super Late Model victory of his young career. Gragson previously won a NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at Tucson. Northwest racing legend Garrett Evans will make the trip from Washington for his first race since undergoing offseason back surgery. This is the second year that the Chilly Willy is a 150-lap race; the first two versions of the race were only 100 laps.
