Jessica Power Continues to Impress With Top Ten Finishes at Mohawk Raceway and Cornwall Speedway

Going into the 2012 season, top ten finishes were the goal for Jessica Power and the Power Racing team. With success throughout the first half of 2012, the goals remain the same, but the personal expectations have become higher, especially after picking up a feature win at Brockville back in June. Power was hoping to continue that success during weekly events at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and Brockville Speedway on Saturday.

At Mohawk Raceway, Jessica started her qualifying heat race from ninth place, and quickly advanced through the field to finish in fifth. In the 20 lap main event, she started from the inside of the seventh row in 13th place. She steadily progressed through the field, and crossed the finish line with a strong fifth place run.

The following day, Power and the team arrived at Brockville Speedway. Jessica started at the back of the field and roared to the front, taking the heat race win. In the 25 lap feature, Jessica started from tenth, and struggled to gain ground on the leaders. She ended the night with an eighth place finish.

“Our goal is top ten every night, and we accomplished that tonight, but we really wanted more then that”, says Power. “The car was really good in the qualifying heat race, and it is a little disappointing that we didn’t move up more in the feature, but we will go back to the shop and figure out what we can do better, and come back strong next week”.

This coming week, Power will be back at Mohawk International Raceway for round two of the Frenchie’s “Drive One” Sportsman Series. On Saturday night, Jessica will return to the BOS for a regular night of racing, plus driver autograph night. Come on out to Brockville Speedway and meet Jessica and the other drivers and get an autograph.

The profits from the sales of the team shirts will be used to fund their efforts for Super DIRT Week at the end of the 2012 season.
