  2. K&N Pro Series • The K&N Pro Series is made up of the East Series and the West Series, with a new, expanded schedule designed to further showcase the two series nationally. • The NASCAR K&N Pro Series serves as a developmental series for NASCAR’s three national series. Many of today’s top drivers began their careers in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series. • Each series will have championship points races and the eighth annual NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown, an invitational event that includes the top drivers from both series. • Inaugural season for K&N Engineering as series sponsor. • The minimum age requirement for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series is 16 years old, a move designed to attract the increasingly large number of young competitors. • 2010 schedule includes traditional tracks and events, along with a combination race in the American Heartland and several races in conjunction with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekends.

  4. Series Overview • 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 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 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.

I cherish the memories I had racing in the K&N Pro Series and enjoy getting back to itwhen my schedule permits." • Joey Logano Joey Logano • "The NASCAR K&N Pro Series has always been a good mix of tracks and a good mix of drivers.
