MONROE — Sean Hingorani won the NAPA Auto Parts 150 ARCA Menards West race at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe Saturday, Aug. 19 after leading most of the race.
Hingorani, age 16, drives the #15 Mobil 1 Toyota for Venturini Motorsports. This was his fourth ARCA West win of the year.
Tyler Reif, also age 16, got second in the #13 Ford. Kole Raz was third in the #5 Toyota.
Raz told the crowd he’s still pursuing the NASCAR dream.
Tanner Reif, who ran strong in the #16 NAPA Chevrolet, had a car problem that led him to hit the first turn wall on lap 82 of 150, bringing out the caution.
The ARCA Menards West series was once known as the NASCAR Winston West series in the 1990s. It’s about six rungs down the ladder from NASCAR Cup and is a key driver development series. The next rung up is the national ARCA series.
NASCAR uses the ARCA name for some of its lower- level racing classes after it bought the previously
independent ARCA stock car series in the late 2010s.

Monroe cheer team to compete at State

Photo courtesy MHS Cheer Coach Laira Bernhardt

MONROE — Monroe High’s coed competitive cheer team punched its ticket to the State cheer tournament this February.
They’ll be joining Cascade and Sultan’s cheer teams among those that have qualified into State.
The tournament will be Feb. 3-4 in Battle Ground, Washington.
Monroe cheer coach Laira Bernhardt said the team is excited and proud to make it on their first qualifying event. There are more than 35 athletes in the competitive cheer program.
“We have worked very hard for years to make it where we are now. We placed second at state last year in the co-ed divisions as well, we are hoping for another successful state trip this February,” Bernhardt said by email.
Monroe qualified into State by way of a Dec. 10 event.
Teams qualify by either scoring a minimum threshold of competition points or by having one of the top 50 scores of all performances in the season. If less than 50 teams qualify through these ways, the remaining teams are taken into State to make a field of 50 teams, the statewide high school cheer competition organization president Tara Wood said.
At the Dec. 10 event in Auburn, Monroe's team scored more than 10 points above the minimum qualifying threshold. -- Michael Whitney

Lake Stevens are State football champions

The Lake Stevens Vikings at last came out on top in Tacoma, taking the State 4A football title with a win from behind over Kennedy-Catholic. The Vikings reigned supreme at 24-22.
Kennedy Catholic rallied in the second quarter with 15 points to pick up the lead at the half, but Lake Stevens held Kennedy scoreless in the third quarter and made a field goal in the fourth quarter to bring in three points for the win, from the box score.
A year ago, Lake Stevens had a downbeat ride home as the losers in the 2021 title game to Graham Kapowsin.
On paper, the long slog to State was relatively painless for the No. 2 Vikings, capturing a 12-2 record for the season. But they had to defeat Graham Kapowsin, for one, in the State semifinals to even get their shot. Their two season losses were from teams from outside Wesco: By Garfield and a team from Oregon. ­

At the Granite Construction Super Sprint Cars Series race on Saturday, June 19 at Evergreen Speedway, cars pass through turn two during one of the caution periods. Greg Middendorf in the #4 car led most of the early race and finished 6th.
The winner was Troy DeCarie in car #41, the black car in the above picture behind the blue #4. Second place was Tod Coleman and third was Randy DeBoise. The first three racers were covered by less than 1.5 seconds, after 30 laps.
The first third of the race was marred by yellow flag caution periods, but no injuries in the spinouts. The remainder was a sprint to the finish. With an inverted starting system, the faster cars start father back, DeCarie qualified fastest and started 10th, but charged through the pack to take the lead with two laps to go and never ceded it. He had won a race in South Carolina the weekend prior and made a long tow to race at Evergreen Speedway.
It was a hot night and the yellow flags increased the driver heat, as the cars run slower. ”In the yellows I lifted my visor and tilted my head to try to get some cool air, it was tough,” DeCarie said.
The winged sprint cars return to Evergreen Speedway on July 3. Other upcoming race weekends are the annual
Mark Galloway Shootout June 26 and the all-star Summer Showdown on July 23 and 24.
