2015 has been an absolutely breakout year for Robbie Price. The Cobble Hill, British Columbia teenager has traveled quite a bit this season and has cracked off two wins at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington in local competition. He will look to have the same sort of success during Speedweek Northwest.

“Overall this year has been really good,” said Price, “the last couple of weeks have been rough but we will try and get back to where we were.”

Due to some prior commitments Robbie will only be able to make the midweek shows starting with Southern Oregon Speedway in White City. It will be the first time ever that he has competed in the state of Oregon. The pilot of the Shark Racing Engines/Mill Stone Heating & Sheetmetal/Rallye Auto Sales/Northwest School of Martial Arts #21 Maxim has set a few goals for the stint.

“I'm just hoping to make the main every night and roll it in the trailer,” he would continue, “I'm really hoping to prove myself against these guys.”

The Western Sprint Tour sanctioned Speedweek Northwest begins at Yreka, California's Siskiyou Motor Speedway on Sunday June 28th and will conclude with the $5000.00 to win finale at Cottage Grove Speedway on Saturday July 4th. The best 360 Sprint drivers in the Western United States will race six events in seven nights at some of the best tracks in the country.

In the seventeen years Speedweek Northwest there have been ten different champions. Steve Kent and Roger Crockett are tied with four apiece while Brent Kaeding has two. Seven drivers have won the entire kit and caboodle just once which is a very impressive list of winners. That list includes Brad Furr, Jesse Hockett, Bud Kaeding, Kyle Larson, Shane Stewart, Mitch Olson, and in 2014 Kyle Hirst.

The Western Sprint Tour is the Pacific Northwest region's most premier touring 360 Sprint car series. Visiting some of the nation's best facilities it is a series that offers some of the best racing you can find anywhere around.
