"To not have the fans here last year, and see the race go on with no fans, it ripped my guts out," said team owner and race promoter Bill McAnally.

As the nationally televised series comes to Roseville this weekend, fans will be welcomed back and the drivers are excited to put on a show.

Drivers from nine states and two countries are registered to race Saturday night.

Granite Bay's Cole Moore is currently in third place and within striking distance of the series leader and teammate Jesse Love.

"This is the one I have to win … all the pressure is on me right now," Moore said.

Racing on the home track can make or break Moore's chance at challenging Love in the points battle.

Moore said his home track is one of the shortest on the circuit and therefore most exhilarating for fans and intense for drivers, demanding constant focus.

"Staying level-headed and staying poised through madness and craziness, being able to gather your thoughts and make the right decisions," Moore said.

The ARCA Menards Pro Series is not the only race happening Saturday. The NASCAR weekly series drivers will hold their championship races, crowning winners in each of the divisions.

The event is scheduled to run from 4 to 10 p.m. on Saturday at the All American Speedway at The Grounds in Roseville. For more event and ticket information, visit All American Speedway's website.
