CARSON CITY, Nevada — After a three week break, 19 year-old Cal Poly San Luis Obispo engineering student Bobby Hodges will return to NASCAR action this weekend with the Western Late Models and Westcar Late Model Series at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif.
Hodges is touring up-and-down California in search of points for the NASCAR California State title. The season has started off slowly as the Nevada Automotive Test Center team has worked to dial in their new #88 Chevrolet.
Saturday’s events at All American Speedway on the one-third mile asphalt oval should be a good opportunity for Hodges to get his season back on the right foot.
Despite running in the top-ten in all five starts this year, Hodges only has two top-ten finishes to show for it.
In his previous effort at All American on March 28, Hodges had to surrender a fifth place run in the first 44 lap event due to mechanical failure.
After charging from 17th to 8th in the first 11 laps of the second feature, Hodges was gathered up in an accident that ended his night.
A 100 lap event is on tap for Saturday night’s action. Hodges has competed in over a dozen events of that distance in his career. He had a pair of seconds and a pair of fourths in 100 lap events at Altamont Raceway Park in 2008.
Racing action gets started around 6 p.m. on Saturday night. All American Speedway is located on the Placer County Fairgrounds in Roseville, Calif.
