Redding, CA – 22 year-old Kyle Cattanach of Redding, CA, and Melo Motorsports, will compete in at least five more races this season, team owner Marty Melo announced late last week.

Cattanach will compete in Dan Gamel-sponsored entries in both the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Western Late Model 100 and the NASCAR Grand National West Series 100 coming up on September 15^th at Altamont Motorsports Park in Tracy, CA.

Cattanach finished 14^th in the team’s first Grand National appearance at the half-mile asphalt oval in April.

The following weekend, Cattanach will run an Eldorado Hotel Casino-backed Chevrolet at Ukiah Speedway in the Eldorado Westcar Late Model Series. The start will be Cattanach’s third in the series in 2007. He won the series event at Shasta Raceway in July.

Cattanach will make his return to Shasta Raceway Park in Anderson, CA on October 6^th and 7^th, as he chases the historic Win-River 125 for Super Late Models. Cattanach, a two-time Pro Stock champion at Shasta, has yet to find victory in the most well-known race in the North State.

Cattanach will team up with Mackena Bell in a two-car effort for Melo Motorsports at Altamont, competing in the Norcal Nationals Late Model event. The event runs from October 12^th-14^th and includes a 125 lap main event on Sunday afternoon.

Melo Motorsports and Kyle Cattanach are currently in their second year together. Cattanach has maintained an 82% top-ten percentage throughout his stockcar career, and is considered on several websites as a future NASCAR Busch Series driver.

The team is also looking for additional funding to compete in one more event in the 2007 season.
