history

The series was founded in 1954. At the time of its inception, there were very few stock car events in the west of the United States, as opposed to the east, so the series served talented racing drivers from the west of the United States who were able to show their skills in the races.

In 2003 NASCAR unified the regulations of the NASCAR West Series and the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (then NASCAR Busch North Series). Since the 2004 season, the best drivers from both series have been allowed to take part in the Toyota All-Star Showdown .

In 2007 NASCAR made some changes to the regulations. All racing teams must use the same type of engine. In addition, a modified chassis is used. The changes were made to cut costs and give smaller teams the chance to survive in the series.

For well-known drivers like Kevin Harvick , Brendan Gaughan and Derrike Cope , the NASCAR West Series was one of the first stops in their careers. Kevin Harvick was the series master in 1998, Brendan Gaughan was in 2000 and 2001.
