HEADING TO MADERA WITH 3 CARS!

It will be a busy weekend for the Nascimento Motorsports racing team as they attempt to steal some of the thunder in the 3^rd leg of the Tri Track holiday series this weekend at Madera Speedway.  One car is a lot of work for one team to handle in one weekend but 3 are virtually unheard of.  Nascimento Motorsports will be bringing one SRL car and two Late Model cars this weekend to the fastest third mile in the west.  With one thing in mind, to take home some of over $20,000 worth of prize money up for grabs.

For a first time this season Greg Potts will wipe the dust off his former SWT car and drive in the SRL series.  The car had been semi-retired after NASCAR discontinued the SWT series in 2006. The team brought it back into racing form over the last month to see if there’s any fire left in the tank.

“We’ve been so busy trying to get the Late Model program going we haven’t had time to touch the Tour car” Greg said. “I can’t wait to get back out there and run in the SRL series, Steve Fensler runs such a great program and I am really excited to be a part of such a great show the drivers put on for the fans at these Hot wood races”

Potts will also attempt to run his 3rd Western Late Model race of the year at Madera behind the wheel of his Sta-Rite/Aqua Pool & Spa sponsored Chevy.  Potts has run very well as of late coming off a 3^rd place run at Altamont on August 4^th and a 3^rd place earlier in the year at Madera. 

Also Rookie Late model driver Eric Nascimento will be competing in his Pebble Tec/ Aqua Pool & Spa Chevy.  Eric is fresh off a good run at Madera on Sept 18^th when he marched his car from his 16^th starting position up to 5^th place before getting spun out on lap 60 to finish 11^th.  

The crew knows it will be a challenge on Saturday, but they appear to be up for it.  Weather is expected to be near triple digits and the crew will be wrenching on 3 different cars but they wouldn’t change it for anything.
