IRVINE, Calif. (June 8, 2010) – 25 year-old Kyle Cattanach of Redding, Calif. will look to recover from an 11^th place finish at Las Vegas, in this weekend’s “Mid Valley Iron & Metals 130” for SRL SPEARS Southwest Tour at the new Stockton 99 Speedway.

Cattanach is currently fifth in the 2010 series points after three races, driving the #88 Superior Crankshaft Chevrolet.  He trails the current points leader by 112 points entering the event.

The touring veteran has a career best finish of second at the speedway in a 2006 Westcar Late Model Series event that had a strong field of 26 cars entered.

Since his appearance in 2006, the speedway closed for two years before being revived in 2009 under ownership of Carol and Tony Noceti.  Among many improvements to one of NASCAR’s oldest quarter-mile asphalt ovals is new asphalt, which has lead to blazing speeds and a slight change in the racing line.

Cattanach ran near the top of the charts all weekend at Las Vegas a few weeks ago, but a late race incident while battling for a top-five finish relegated him to a disappointing 11^th place finish in the final rundown.

This will be the last scheduled race with Motorway Motorsports as scheduling conflicts with its K&N and Camping World Truck teams have developed.

“This is not anything new as we came into this season knowing about Motorway’s schedule,” Grassroots Motorsports Marketing Manager Marty Melo said. “Right now we are actively looking at other opportunities for us and Kyle and we are confident we will tighten up our plans for the remainder of the 2010 season by early next week”.

Activities for Cattanach and SP Racing this weekend get underway on Friday afternoon with practice from 4 – 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday, practices will be held throughout the afternoon with the “Mid Valley Iron & Metals 130” being the last race of the evening.  A crowd upwards of 3000 fans strong is expected.

Kyle Cattanach is sponsored by: Superior Crankshaft, PepperJack Kennels, Joe Gibbs Driven, CP Pistons, Carrillo Rods, B&B Redding I-5 RV Center, Shell Fast Track Food & Fuel, Shell Sportsman Express, Blakesley Sports Media, and supports the Shanesway Foundation.
