WILTON, California -- The SRL drivers are eager to “stretch their legs” as they ready their cars for their only appearance this year at the half mile oval at Altamont Motorsports Park. 100 laps of green flag racing is scheduled for this Saturday, August 4th in the hills of Altamont Pass where fans will be able to experience the true power of SRL late models.

With the SRL driver points race tightening up, veteran Dave Byrd of Seaside, CA will try to hold Modesto’s Belletto brothers (Jeff and Steve), along with Victory Circle Chassis and Parts rookie of the year points leader Bryan Herzog of Clovis, CA who is coming off his first ever SRL win this past weekend at Shasta Raceway. A driver the hometown fans are sure to be pulling for is Tracy CA’s own Rick Ruzbarsky who is making his way up the points standing with strong showings in each of the 3 SRL races he has participated in. And young Brennan Newberry of Bakersfield, CA will try to improve upon his first top 5 finish at Shasta to continue showing strong progress in his rookie year as part of the SRL.

“The SRL drivers and the whole SRL team are excited about coming back to Altamont where we expect our fastest racing of the year” said Steve Fensler, executive series director for the SRL. “We look forward to showcasing some of the most talented late model drivers in the Western U.S. on one of the most exciting tracks in the region!”
