As the auto racing season draws to a close, the biggest single non-division race will be contested Saturday at the Antioch Speedway.

The Western Dirt Late Model Tour Series will highlight the program, which also features dirt modifieds, limited late models, dwarf cars and pure stocks.

The event brings to a close the Western Dirt Late Model Association's point race. Top drivers in the Late Model group are defending champion Bobby Hogge III, Richard Papenhausen, Kellen Chadwick and Ron Bartels.

In addition, the dirt modifieds will be racing in the All-Star State Series, which brings its point race to an end. The dirt modifieds still have a couple weeks to go in their local series.

Veteran driver Keith Brown Sr. has cinched the All-Star State series, the selected races being divided between Antioch and Chowchilla. Brown recorded a 655-point total.

In distant second was Brad Coehlo with 506 points and Ed Daviess third at 468. In the straight Antioch point, total Kellen Chadwick of Oakley holds on to the lead with 574; Brown Sr. is runner-up with 520; and Coehlo is third at 508.

The limited late models continue to deliver a point race which been tightening all season. Defending champion Ty Duggins has been in the lead most of the season, but hasn't locked up the title yet.

Duggins has 658 points followed by Jeff Silva with 604. Mike Gustafson is in his usual spot, third at 598.

The Western Dirt Late Models will qualify at 7 p.m. after some of the other heat races are run. Those start at 6 p.m. General admission is $15.
