Summer Showdown at Evergreen Speedway: Entry list, live stream, schedule, more for 2023

Evergreen Speedway is set to host its most prestigious event of the year, the Summer Showdown, this weekend.

Regularly attracting many of the best short-track competitors from the West Coast, what separates the Summer Showdown from other similar crown-jewel events is the potential bonuses for those who compete in both the Super Late Model and Pro Late Model features.

Any driver who can win both the Summer Showdown 150 for Super Late Models and Summer Shootout 100 for Pro Late Models will earn a bonus of $37,000. To do so, the driver who wins the Summer Shootout 100 must start at the rear of the field for the Summer Showdown 150.

Sweeping the Super Late Model and Pro Late Model events is not the only way drivers can earn bonus money at Evergreen this weekend. If any driver finishes in either first, second or third in the two events, they can earn an additional $5,000, but must also start at the rear for the Summer Showdown.

With more than $79,000 up for grabs this weekend, a healthy field of competitors are set to descend onto Evergreen looking to claim victories in both features. Below is everything you need to know about the Summer Showdown.

Summer Showdown history, winners

In the brief history of the Summer Showdown at Evergreen Speedway, seven different drivers have managed to take home a checkered flag in the event.

The first one to do so was Pete Harding in 2012. Nearly 40 cars took the green flag that night, but when a curfew shortened the race, only three were remaining on the lead lap.

Since Harding’s victory, names like former NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Cameron Hayley and Super Late Model standout Bubba Pollard have found their way to Victory Lane in the Summer Showdown. The most dominant driver has been Preston Peltier, who won the Summer Showdown three straight times from 2017-2019.
