KALAMAZOO--Western Michigan University's solar car, Sunseeker, returns to Kalamazoo at about 11:30 a.m. today. The vehicle is returning from its sixth-place finish in the North American Solar Challenge, which ended July 27 in Calgary, Alberta, after a 2,500-mile race across two nations.

Sunseeker will cruise east down Stadium drive and through downtown Kalamazoo before returning to its home base at WMU's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences on the Parkview Campus. A campus crowd is expected to greet the car at the building's main entrance at approximately 11:45 a.m.
