The Westcar Late Model Series will join the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series as part of the Noceti Grupe Inc Big Dog #2 at Altamont Motorsports Park in Tracy, CA this Sunday afternoon.

32 entries have been received for the $2000 to win, 75 green flag lap feature on the half-mile asphalt oval. Posted awards for Sunday’s action totals $18,425. The three round Big Dog Series pays an additional $6500 points fund as well.

The race is being promoted by Noceti Grupe Inc – Motorsports Promotions of French Camp, CA. A unique format for the Big Dog Series this season sees 20 lap heat races used instead of qualifying.

Dallas Glenn leads the Westcar Late Model Series points standings and is seventh in the Altamont standings. Saturday’s race will be the third combination race this year at Altamont with Westcar stars, and the fourth series race of 2008.

The Western Late Model event will keep the Altamont regulars on their toes, as several out-of-town drivers will be in action. All American Speedway points leader Gary Glenn will be competing, along with Big Dog #1 winner Jason Fensler of Modesto.

Carson City, NV teenager Bobby Hodges finished in the top-five in Big Dog #1 and will be action, along with 2000 Irwindale Speedway champion James Weston of Goleta, and Big Dog #1 runner-up Chris Bammer of Pleasanton.

2005 track champion Jason Gilbert leads 2006 Stockton 99 Speedway champion Guy Guibor of Manteca by four points.

Big Dog #2 will pay out more than $26,000 in prize monies for the four feature events. Big Dog points will also be on the line, and the year end payout for the Big Dog Series is healthy as well.

Ticket prices will see general admission for $20, with youth, military, and seniors just $10 for this huge regional racing event. A family pass of two adults and two youth is just $45.
