The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West will return to the quarter-mile track in Post Falls, Idaho for the NAPA Auto Parts Toyota 150. The Napa native clinched his first and only K&N West career title at Stateline Speedway in 2014 after passing veteran Greg Pursley with only four laps remaining.
Bickford hopes to spark a comeback at Stateline Speedway following an unprecedented loss at his home track, Sonoma Raceway, on June 27th. Bickford was rear ended by another driver in lap 48 of the 1.99 mile road course, which resulted in a broken left-rear axle with only fourteen laps remaining. Bickford crossed the finish line P28 following the collision.
Regarding his finish at Sonoma, Bickford said:
"The finish was nothing what we were expecting. If we could have avoided the broken axle, I bet we would've finished in the top-five alongside my teammate [Ryan Partridge] who ended up finishing fourth…So, we definitely had some bad luck. But we're not going to dwell on it. We're going to take that loss and put all of our energy into Stateline [Speedway], and hopefully be able to get a few wins before the end of the season."
The 2014 Sunoco Rookie of the Year winner is ranked eighth in the NASCAR K&N West series standings with two top-five and four top-ten finishes.
The NASCAR K&N Pro Series event will be televised post-race on July 16th from 2:30pm – 3:30pm PST on the television network NBC Sports (NBCSN).
