Al Pombo was arguably one of the greatest drivers that ever drove a lap in Central California.
Pombo, 80, still enjoys coming out to area race tracks selling his line of T-shirts and other memorabilia, but the ageless stories he delivers are free.
The 410 Super Modifieds will race 50 laps in tribute to Pombo on Saturday night. Kody Swanson and A.J. Russell will race the Super Modifieds, as will Jim Burges and other drivers looking to capture the Pombo trophy.
Pombo, in a local hospital dealing with an illness, will be unable to attend the event, but a very large "get well soon" card will be passed around the grandstand for fans to sign for him.
