From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Derek Thorn, driving the No. 6 car for Sunrise Ford Racing, the 2018 K&N Pro Series West champion. This was his second title in the series.
Ryan Partridge, driving the No. 9 car for Sunrise Ford Racing, finished second behind his teammate Thorn in the championship by 27 points.
Cole Rouse, driving the No. 99 car for Bill McAnally Racing, finished third in the championship.

The 2018 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West was the sixty-fifth season of the K&N Pro Series West, a regional stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR. It began with the Bakersfield 175 presented by NAPA Auto Parts at Kern County Raceway Park on March 15 and concluded with the NAPA Auto Parts 175 presented by West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame at Kern County Raceway Park on October 27. Todd Gilliland entered the season as the defending Drivers' champion; however, he did not go for three in a row, because he moved up to the Truck Series in 2018. Derek Thorn, the 2013 West Series champion, won his second championship in his first full season since his first title, 27 points in front of his Sunrise Ford Racing teammate Ryan Partridge, who also returned to the series in 2018 after a year off in 2017.
