SANGUDO, AB – The Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model Series holds its first ever two-day points race at scenic Sangudo Speedway this weekend. Last September, Whitecourt, Alberta’s Kevin Wheeler won the NPP Series Feature on the Sangudo, Alberta oval track. This race was the first appearance of the NPP Series at Sangudo Speedway since August 12, 2001. Wheeler [#3] is the current points leader heading into the weekend race and is considered the early favorite. Edson, Alberta’s Dwight Kennedy [#81] is just 7 points back of Wheeler. Calgary, Alberta’s Mark Miller [#69] sits third in points just 7 points back of Kennedy.

The Saturday, Sunday weather forecast is currently calling for clouds, showers and possible late day thundershowers. Track and NPP Series officials are casting a worried glance to the sky. The official website of the NPP Series will be updated immediately should the status of this weekend’s race change due to the weather. Sangudo Speedway is located about 1 hour northwest of Edmonton, Alberta on Highway 43. The track is situated right beside the Sangudo Riverside Campground.
