NASCAR WWEST: Woodside and Bill McAnally Racing Looking to Push to the Top at Portland
11 August 1999
August 11, 1999 (Roseville, CA) - Coming off of a strong performance and second place finish in the NASCAR Winston West's most recent event, Sean Woodside and Bill McAnally Racing look forward to Saturday's Grainger Industrial Supply 200 presented by TCI Digital Cable at Portland Speedway. Currently running in second place, the team hopes this will be the race that pushes them to the top of the points standings. Their past performance provides a good foundation for a successful run in this year's event. The McAnally Racing fielded car won the event last year, and Woodside finished both the 1997 and 1998 events in third place. Woodside said "Bill's team and I both have had good runs at Portland in the past. We were encouraged by our strong performance at Monroe and happy with our second place finish there. We believe that we have a good chance at bringing in our second win for the season this weekend but, really, our goal is to maintain or better our points position and, hopefully, take over first place in the points standings." Woodside will represent McAnally Racing at Portland Speedway's Fourth Annual Doernbecher Drivers Challenge presented by Grainger as part of the weekend's festivities. The Challenge is scheduled for Thursday, August 12 from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. at Malibu Grand Prix, 9405 SW Cascade Ave. in Beaverton, OR, just off Highway 217. Woodside is one of several Winston West drivers who will compete against contest winners on Malibu Grand Prix's mini-road course. Proceeds from a silent auction to be held during the event will benefit the Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Woodside and team owner Bill McAnally are also looking forward to visiting with the NAPA Mountain Division's Portland distribution center and hosting NAPA's many manufacturers, the NAPA distribution center employees, store owners and customers who will gather at Portland Speedway to support the team. The Grainger Industrial Supply 200 presented by TCI Digital Cable 200 will be televised tape delayed (date to be determined) by Speedvision. 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.
