The 1994 NASCAR Winston Transcontinental Series, often referred to as the NASCAR Winston West Series, was the 41st season of the series. It was the only season of the ARCA Menards Series West to be run under the Winston Transcontinental Series banner, and the series would revert to being called the Winston West Series the following year. The title was won by Mike Chase, his first in the series.
Schedule and results The 1994 season included 14 individual races, although Mesa Marin Raceway hosted three races and Tucson Raceway Park hosted two races. The races at Sears Point Raceway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Phoenix International Raceway were in combination with the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. The season finale was not the combination race at Phoenix like in past seasons but rather a standalone race at Tucson as part of the inaugural Winter Heat Series.
