Eden Prairie native William Sawalich, the defending ARCA Menards Series West winner at this track, will race in the Pacific Office Automation 147 on Saturday, Aug. 30, at Portland International Raceway in Portland, Oregon.
He earned one AMSW road course win at Sonoma Raceway earlier this year and claimed his second consecutive ARCA Menards Series East championship at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2024. Over the past two years, Sawalich has won seven AMSE races and posted 15 top-five finishes on his way to two championships. In 2023, he became the first Minnesotan to win the series championship.
Sawalich will drive the No. 18 SoundGear Toyota GR Supra for Joe Gibbs Racing on Saturday. The race is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Central time and will be broadcast on MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio and The CW.
