Joe Pillars dominates 2018 Northwest Stock Champs

The 2018 Northwest Stock Championships were held this past weekend at PDX RC Underground in Portland, Oregon. The race schedule saw open practice on Friday and three rounds of qualifying and triple A-main events on Saturday. In the 2WD Pro Stock Buggy class, Yokomo’s Joe Pillars would dominate qualifying by TQ’ing all three rounds and secure the overall TQ. Pillars then went onto take the commanding Wins in A-main 1 and 2, to take his first Championship of the weekend from Team Associated’s Jack Leighan 2nd and newly-signed Yokomo driver, Wes Cipriotti in 3rd.

In the 13.5 4WD Buggy class, Yokomo’s Joe Pillars was once again on another level in qualifying and went onto TQ all three rounds.
