 Canidae is the title sponsor of the Canidae Natural Pet Food Company California Classic Presented By MasterCraft Safety in conjunction with Lucas Oil and Toyota Speedway. Racing will feature the touring pros of the SRL/SPEARS Southwest Tour and the two most popular west coast weekly series, Late Models and Super Late Models, competing in three events, Saturday November 27, 2010 in Irwindale, CA near Los Angeles.

Racers will be competing for over $50,000 in prize money. Adding to the excitement is the fact that the Lucas Oil Production Studios will produce a one hour show of the races for broadcast which will air on the Versus Network on December 26th at 4:00pm Eastern Time.

"This is a dream event that Bob Patison from Lucas Oil and I have been working on for some time now," said Toyota Speedway GM/VP Bob DeFazio. "We've both been very interested in bringing a special Friday/Saturday stock car event to the long Thanksgiving weekend, and, thanks to Lucas Oil, we're on the way to what we both feel will become an important annual event."

In addition to being the title sponsor of the inaugural California Classic, Canidae will provide special "Fast Time" awards for each of the three races, and a generous supply of dog and cat food samples for the race teams and pit areas and to the RV camper area.

Preceding the events on Saturday, Toyota Speedway will be host to the 70th annual running of the Turkey Night Midget Grand Prix November 25th, Thanksgiving night.
