REDDING, California -- Kyle Cattanach of Redding, CA will team up with the Eldorado Hotel Casino in Reno, NV this Saturday night at Ukiah Speedway in Ukiah, CA for the Eldorado Westcar Late Model Series 100 on the quarter-mile asphalt oval.
Fresh off of two fourth place finishes at Altamont Motorsports Park, Cattanach will be searching for his second Westcar win of the 2007 season. Cattanach won the Westcar event in July at Shasta Raceway Park in Anderson, CA.
The 22 year-old driver has two career Late Model track championships and should be tough to beat against the all-star field at Ukiah. The race marks the seventh and final round in the 2007 Westcar Tour of Champions.
Cattanach ran multiple times at Ukiah Speedway in 2004 en-route to a runner-up finish in the North State Challenge Series points standings.
Cattanach also earned his stripes at quarter-mile tracks in 2005 in the ASA Speed Truck Challenge. Cattanach earned a third place finish at the tight Orange Show Speedway en-route to second in that series points as a rookie.
Saturday’s 100 lap event is the second of five straight weeks of Late Model racing for Melo Motorsports, a Redding-based team owned by Marty Melo, that campaigns cars for Kyle Cattanach and development driver Mackena Bell. Mackena Bell will be back racing for Melo on September 29th at All American Speedway in Roseville, CA.
