This Saturday the King of the West 410 Sprint Car Series is set for the 30thannual Cotton Classic at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford. It will be the penultimate event of the season & final visit of the year to the Central Valley. Lemoore’s Carson Macedo brings a 20-point lead over Campbell’s Bud Kaeding into the history filled event. The point lead has changed hands six times in the last seven weekends the series has competed.

Kyle Hirst leads the series with five wins this year, while Dominic Scelzi claimed the KWS visit to Hanford in September.
