Local Altamont fans will certainly recognize Ryan Foster as he returns this weekend in his new ride. The Grand National West Rookie will be seated in the #21 Golden Gate Racing Chevrolet for this 3rd race of the new NASCAR Series.  Foster and the #21 team heads into Altamont following a strong showing at Phoenix where both Foster and teammate Tim McCreadie had successful runs.  Now, 4th in overall points and 1st in Rookie points, Foster has high expectations for his return to one of his favorite tracks, one that has a sentimental attachment.

When asked about his feelings for this weekend, Foster had only excitement to express. He explained that he could not have made it this far without help from many people along the way.  As a way to honor several of these folks Foster offered, “The race at Altamont this weekend is a really a tribute to several people, Jim Offenbach - my car owner, Steve Portenga - our crew chief and Richard Childress.” “Both Jim and Richard have put a lot of faith in me and Steve has worked very hard to get me a winning car, in return I intend to win for them”.
