Track profile: Evergreen Speedway

The term “superspeedway” typically is not reserved for a short track like Evergreen Speedway that measures 0.625 miles. But NASCAR Hall of Famer David Pearson knew what he was doing when he called the paved oval in Monroe, Washington, the “Superspeedway of the West.”

Evergreen is not your typical short track, as the facility is actually five tracks in one. Inside that 0.646-mile oval is a 0.375 paved oval, a 0.2-mile paved oval, a figure-eight track and a 0.75-mile road course.

Located a little more than 30 miles northeast of Seattle, Evergreen Speedway is the only NASCAR-sanctioned track in the state of Washington.
