TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - This will be an exciting time for race fans here in Tucson. NASCAR's K and N series West will take over the Tucson Speedway.

We are talking about two local race car drivers who will be in the Napa Auto Parts Walk at 150. We are talking about Storming Ron Norman and Matt Levine both these drivers will be racing.

Last time the series was in Tucson was more than 12 years ago. So think of the K and N series is a developmental league for the Sprint Cup series just like AAA is for major-league baseball.

There will be over 20 race teams coming to town and they have around eight crew members with them. So it will be pretty busy at the race track this weekend.

Saturday's race takes place at 7:30 at Tucson Speedway.
