2019 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West

Derek Kraus, the 2019 K&N Pro Series West champion.

The 2019 NASCAR K&N Pro Series West was the sixty-sixth season of the K&N Pro Series West, a regional stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR. It began with the Star Nursery 100 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway dirt track on February 28, 2019, and concluded with the Arizona Lottery 100 at ISM Raceway on November 9, 2019. Derek Kraus was crowned the champion, ahead of Jagger Jones (who also won Rookie of the Year), Hailie Deegan, and Trevor Huddleston. Derek Thorn entered the season as the defending drivers' champion, but did not defend his championship, deciding instead to focus on super late model racing.

General Tire replaced Goodyear as the official tire supplier of the series in 2019.^[1] 2019 also marked the last year of sponsorship from K&N Filters, which began sponsoring the series in 2011. Beginning in 2020, the series was known as the ARCA Menards Series West.
