SACRAMENTO, Ca — 18-year-old Josh Combs of Sacramento, California will celebrate Labor Day on Altamont Raceway's half-mile oval this Saturday. The bay area race track will host round three of the Tri-Holiday classic featuring the Flashco SRL Southwest Tour Series in their sixth event of the 2008 racing season.

Making just his fifth start in a SRL Late Model car, Combs will look to score his first career Flascho SRL Southwest Tour win this Saturday as the series makes its third and final appearance of the season at the Altamont Raceway.

Combs came up just shy of his first win when the series last visited the Tracy, California race track on July 5th. Starting in the sixth position, he charged to the lead early and looked to be in command of the race until a flat right-front tire forced him to the pits under green flag conditions. The lengthy pit stop regulated him to just a ninth place finish.

Combs' best finish this season was a fourth place finish in the May 24th event at Altamont after starting from the rear of the field in the 20th position.

Now with just two events remaining on the SRL schedule, Combs looks to improve on his sixth place position in the championship standings with a solid performance on what he considers his best track.

Josh Combs drives the #7 family owned Ford Fusion and is sponsored by MUD-Racing.net, Joiner Motorsports, Bell, California Upholstery Co., Bird's Daycare, and Wrecked & Running Motorcycles of Carmichael, Ca.
