EDMONTON, AB. – The Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model Series has finalized its schedule for the 2010 season. Two race dates that were on hold for Southern Alberta on the September long weekend have now been removed. NPP Series announcer Gord Craig says the current economic climate in Western Canada has a lot to do with how the schedule was drawn up this year. “The economy is still in recovery mode here in Alberta. The NPP Series has adjusted to help out our teams by cutting back on travel and the number of race dates.” Less is more in 2010. The NPP Series has 14 race dates on its schedule this season and only two road trips. “In past seasons we’ve had as many as 22 race dates on the schedule with half of those dates away from the home track (Castrol Raceway) in Edmonton.” The NPP Late Model Series travels to Bridge County Raceway in Lethbridge on the May long weekend. The only other road trip is a one day show in June at Central Alberta Raceways in Rimbey. The remainder of the race events will be campaigned at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton. “Many of our teams have young families,” adds Craig, “I’m sure they won’t mind having a few extra weekends off this year.” The 10th season of the Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model Series and the Chase for the Championship starts May 8th at Edmonton’s Castrol Raceway.
