Jessica Power Gets Top Ten Finish at Can Am Motorsports Park; Home Track Season Openers on Tap for This Weekend

It was a busy week for Jessica Power and the Power Motorsports team.  On Wednesday, Jessica had her car on display at McDonalds in Gananoque, Ontario as part of their McHappy Day, helping to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House charity.  Power also raced at Can Am on Saturday night, scoring her first top ten finish of the season.

The charity event at McDonalds on Wednesday was a great success, as Power met with many McDonalds customers during the McHappy Day fundraiser, and discussed racing with many who have never seen a race, as well as many local race fans that stopped to visit. 

“We always enjoy putting the car on display, and talking about what we do with everyone that comes by”, says Power.  “This was a really neat experience, and it was for a great cause, and I look forward to doing this again in the future”.

The Power Racing team hit the track at Can Am on Saturday night for the first time in 2012.  Not only did the end the night with a ninth place finish, they also won the $100 random position bonus that is given out each week from North Country Custom.

“We really want to thank Bob Thurston and North Country Custom for sponsoring the Sportsman division at Can Am with their random position bonus.  We were lucky enough to win it this week”, says Power after the race. 

This coming weekend, the Power Racing team will start their regular summer schedule, with events at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday nights, and Brockville Speedway on Saturday.  The weekend will be especially busy, as they will have their car on display in Lyndhurst, Ontario at Wing’s Live Bait and Tackle as part of the opening of Pickerel fishing season in the area on Saturday before heading to Brockville on Saturday night.

Jessica Power and the Power Motorsports team would like to thank Speedy Auto Service, Gananoque Chev-Olds, Fastenal, Jackson’s Landscaping and Property Maintenance, Wing’s Live Bait & Tackle, John’s Your Local Grocer, Stover Bus Lines, Axcel Sports, Great Chow Express, Star Diner, Len Corcoran Excavating, Glen Gould Estate Construction, Bicknell Racing Products, Atomic Sign Works, Bob Hilbert Sportswear, South Eastern Mechanical Inc., and Finish Line Web Design for their support during the 2012 racing season.
