2016 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2016 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West was the sixty-third season of the K&N Pro Series West. It began at Irwindale Speedway on March 19 and concluded at All American Speedway on October 15. Chris Eggleston entered the season as the defending drivers' Champion. Todd Gilliland won the championship, thirteen points in front of Ryan Partridge.
Gilliland also became the youngest champion in West Series and NASCAR history, winning the title at 16 years and 5 months. The record for youngest champion in all of NASCAR was broken by Sam Mayer's 2019 East Series championship when he was 16 years, 3 months, and 8 days. However, Gilliland remains to this day the youngest West Series champion.

All of the races in the 2016 season were televised on NBCSN and were on a tape delay basis.[11]
- Notes
- ↑ The Casey's General Store 150 was held as a combined event, with competitors from the K&N Pro Series West competing along with competitors for the K&N Pro Series East. The race was run with a series-based point distribution, where drivers receive points and statistical credit for their finish relative to other drivers in their series, not to the whole field in general.
