Stewart helping NASCAR in Washington

[Editor's Note: Everything happens in NASCAR for a reason. Tony Stewart is going to race a Sprint car race in Washington state put on by Kasey Kahne just where NASCAR wants to build a track. You don't think that happened by accident do you? You have to get the NASCAR name out there to build the brand.]

Two-time NASCAR Nextel Cup Series champion Tony Stewart is set to return to Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash., to compete in the second annual Kasey Kahne Foundation Sprint Car Challenge. Stewart will join Kahne, a fellow sprint car and Nextel Cup driver, for the Aug. 29 event which will feature the pair going head-to-head in winged 360 sprint car competition.

“I’m looking forward to heading back to Skagit Speedway with the Kasey Kahne Foundation," Stewart said. “The race not only gives me a chance to get back in my 360 sprint car, but it benefits a great organization at the same time. Kasey has always supported my charity events at Eldora Speedway, and it means a lot that he’s invited me to participate in this race alongside him. Hopefully, we’ll be able to put on a great show for the fans and help out a lot of deserving kids."
