Northwest Super Late Model Series Returning to South Sound in 2026

The Northwest Super Late Model Series presented by Knottical Marine is excited to announce our return to South Sound Speedway (WA) on August 1st for the track’s traditional marque event of the season. The 28th annual running of the South Sound / Miller 200 will be known as the “Weatherguard 200” in 2026. The series last visited South Sound Speedway in 2021 for the “South Sound 200” won by Trenton Moriarity over a 24-car field. This will be the eighth visit to the facility for the NWSLMS and the fourth for the traditional 200-lap event.

The NWSLMS visited the west side of Washington in 2025 with the “Summer Showdown 200”, and will return to Rochester, WA this summer for another big 200-lap affair.

“The series is excited to return to South Sound Speedway”, NWSLMS director Dan Garber stated. “They have a beautiful facility located in the Pacific Northwest that we love to be a part of, and we are excited for the opportunity to put on a great show for the fans. Thank you to Nick (Behn) and his staff for allowing us another opportunity to bring a great field of Super Late drivers to his facility, for the 2026 “Weatherguard 200”.

The popular 3/8-mile oval is one of only a limited number of paved short tracks in the Western United States to feature Super Late Model racing on a regular basis. Ethan Ebert was the Powersports NW Super Late Model track champion in 2025. Track operator Nick Behn is looking forward to adding to an already prestigious event in 2026.

“South Sound Speedway is excited to announce the return of the NWSLMS to headline the “Weatherguard Roofing 200” weekend August 1st. You won't want to miss this one”, Behn added.

The Northwest Super Late Model Series will head into its’ 13^th season of operation in 2026. Among the previous NWSLMS winners at South Sound include Mitch Kleyn, Brittney Zamora, Alan Cress (2), Max Schroeder, Austin Thom, and Trenton Moriarity. On August 1^st, another name or repeat winner will be added to the list.
