NASCAR WWEST: Woodside and Bill McAnally Racing Hope For Second Win at Monroe

15 July 1999

July 15, 1999 (Roseville, CA) - Sean Woodside won his first NASCAR Winston 
West race at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington mid-way through his 
1997 rookie year in the series. Now, Woodside and Bill McAnally Racing hope 
to bring home a second victory in this Sunday's Coors Light 200.

Woodside commented, "Monroe is where I broke the "first win" ice in Winston 
West.  I had come close a few other times, but didn't quite make it into 
Victory Circle.  It was sure a relief getting that first win."  

Evergreen's flat .646-mile oval felt familiar to Woodside, who began his 
NASCAR career on similarly configured tracks in Southern California.  His 
experience driving on the flatter tracks and the team's ability to provide a 
fast car should add up to a winning combination this weekend.

A victory at Evergreen Speedway on Sunday would also give the team a second 
win for the 1999 season.  But, as important as another win is to the team, 
the championship battle is its primary concern.  With half of the 1999 NASCAR 
Winston West events completed, Bill McAnally Racing is currently in second 
place in a furious points battle, with just 26 points separating the top four 
contenders. 

Representatives from NAPA's Seattle distribution center will rally at 
Evergreen Speedway to provide welcome support for Woodside and Bill McAnally 
Racing.  Employees, storeowners, guests and customers will be on hand to 
cheer the team on as they battle for first place.  As part of the weekend's 
festivities, the team will be making stops at four new NAPA stores en route 
to Evergreen Speedway, all within the state of Washington.

Bill McAnally Racing (BMR) owns and operates the No. 16 NAPA Auto 
Parts/Martin Senour Automotive Finishes/NAPA Filters/California Integrated 
Waste Management Recycled Oil Program Chevrolet Monte Carlo NASCAR Winston 
West team with Sean Woodside as driver. They are in second place in the 
points standings, and are leading in the Gatorade Front Runner Award and 
Clevite Engine Builder Award races.  Current season results include one win, 
two top five and four top ten finishes.  Woodside finished both the 1997 and 
1998 seasons in second place in the Winston West points standings.
