Series Overview
The NASCAR K&N Pro Series is made up of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and the K&N Pro Series West. This division represents NASCAR’s top regional touring series, where competitors will refine
their skills before making the jump to one of NASCAR’s three national series. Both series compete in either 110-inch or 105-inch wheelbase cars that are similar to those of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
and the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Attendance averages are about 5,000 – 15,000 spectators at short tracks and 400-600 people in the garage area.
• The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West was born when NASCAR came to the West Coast and began sanctioning the Pacific Coast Late Model circuit in 1954. It has been known as the Pacific Coast Late Model circuit, Grand National West, NASCAR Winston West Series, and the NASCAR AutoZone West Series.
The present format of the K&N Pro Series East began in 1987 when Anheuser-Busch and NASCAR returned to the Northeast with a revised version of the NASCAR North Tour that ran between 1979 and 1985. In 2003, this series combined rules with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West to form the Grand National Division. NASCAR has now welcomed K&N Engineering as the new series sponsor on both the east and the west.

"The NASCAR K&N Pro Series has always been a good mix of tracks and a good mix of drivers. You have to be able to fight on the short tracks and tackle the big tracks. It's an awesome series. My Dad won championships and I came close a couple of times. I still look forward to running in the series when we're on the West Coast."

"The NASCAR K&N Pro Series really honed my skills as a driver and significantly impacted the success I have today. It taught me how to be a great competitor on and off the track. I cherish the memories I had racing in the K&N Pro Series and enjoy getting back to it when my schedule permits."
