DAYTONA BEACH, FL - NASCAR announced recently the 2015 schedules for its top developmental regional touring series, the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.<br /> <br /> The coast-to-coast 2015 slate features a combined 27 dates in 17 different states, highlighted by nine NASCAR national series companion weekends and four new events.<br /> <br /> "The NASCAR K&N Pro Series has become the premiere training ground for our sport, and the diversity of the 2015 schedules will provide great challenges for the next generation of drivers," said George Silbermann, NASCAR vice president for regional and touring series. "We are ecstatic that Motordrome Speedway has joined the K&N Pro Series East schedule and that Meridian, Shasta and Tucson Speedways have come on board to showcase the K&N Pro Series West."<br /> <br /> Motordrome is a banked asphalt oval located in Smithton, PA. The Aug. 15 event will be the half-mile's inaugural K&N Pro Series East race and the first visit for the series to the Keystone State since 2012.<br /> <br /> For the K&N Pro Series West, the three new events will harken back to the series' rich history. A May 2 date at Tucson will be the series' first at the famed .375-mile Arizona oval since 2001. The K&N West will also return to Shasta, a .333-mile oval in Anderson, California, for the first time since 1993 while the Sept. 5 race at Meridian will be just the second visit in series history to the quarter-mile track located in Meridian, Idaho.<br /> <br /> All told, the K&N Pro Series East has 14 dates at 13 different tracks in 11 states.
