Sean Hingorani dominates the ARCA West Series to Win at Evergreen Speedway in the NAPA Auto Parts ARCA 150 on Saturday night.
MONROE, Wash. — Despite entering the NAPA Auto Parts ARCA 150 at Washington’s Evergreen Speedway second in ARCA Menards Series West points behind rival Landen Lewis, Sean Hingorani had maintained confidence that he’s the favorite for the 2023 championship.
Sean Hingorani Dominates the ARCA West Series to Win at Evergreen Speedway
On Saturday night, the Venturini Motorsports driver proved why.
Hingorani at Evergreen picked up his fourth West Series win of the season, and he did so in dominating fashion. The 16-year-old from Newport Beach, California spent the first third of the 150-lap race on the 5/8-mile oval riding the back bumper of pole-sitter Tyler Reif before he made the pass for the lead on lap 56.
Hingorani never looked back.
Through a pair of restarts, one after the scheduled race break at the halfway point and another for a Tanner Reif crash on lap 82, Hingorani easily pulled away from the competition. He also managed his tires well enough to maintain his healthy lead in the closing stages of the event.
