Jessica Power Moves to Second in Points at Mohawk Raceway With Second Place Finish; Another Top Ten Finish at Brockville Speedway

With three more races remaining at both Mohawk Raceway and Brockville Speedway entering last weekend’s events, Jessica Power was looking to continue her strong season and move up the standings before the regular season comes to an end after Labor Day Weekend. Power was back at both tracks this past weekend looking for victory.

Mohawk Raceway was the first stop on the weekend, and Power began the night with a third place finish in her qualifying heat race. After making a few minor adjustments, she rolled onto the track for the 20 lap main event from the eighth position. She found her line early and quickly worked her way towards the front of the pack. With just three laps in, she was up to fourth place and was battling for a top three over the next few laps. With 13 lap in, Jessica had advanced to second place, and arguably had the fastest car on the track in the late stages, but lapped traffic slowed her pace just enough to keep her from reeling in the leader. She would finish with a strong second place run.

“That was a really good run for us tonight. If we could have just got to second place soon we would have had more time to chase down the leader”, says Power after the race. “Overall we are very happy with our run, and looking forward to another good night at Brockville tomorrow”.

Brockville Speedway on Saturday night was a bit of a struggle for the Power Racing team. After a fifth place finish in her qualifying heat race, the team made some changes to the car looking fore more speed before the 25 lap feature. She started the race from 12th place, and made it to the top ten after just five laps. Jessica would end the night with a ninth place result.

This coming Friday night, Power will return to Mohawk International Raceway where she will be looking for her first career MIR Sportsman win. After her second place finish last week, she vaulted from fifth to second in track points. On Saturday night she will be back at Brockville Speedway looking to improve on her fourth place points position. She is currently just seven points out of third place.

Jessica Power Has Long Night at Brockville After Heat Race Crash

There has been a lot of good nights at the track this year for Jessica Power and the Power Racing team, but last Saturday night at Brockville was one they would just soon forget. A disappointing night at was a result of a crash in her qualifying heat race that left the car with some heavy damage, and put the crew to work to make the necessary repairs before the feature.

With just one race on their schedule this week with Mohawk Raceway being closed for their local fair, Power was hoping to have a good night in their only race of the weekend at Brockville. The evening started well, as Jessica posted the fourth fastest speed in opening practice. In her qualifying heat, with just one lap remaining a car spun right in her path, leaving no room for escape, causing some heavy damage to the car. The crew worked hard to get the car fixed in time for the 25 lap main event. She would have to start from 18th place because of the heat race incident, and by lap 18 she had made it into the top ten. Over the final laps though, with the car not handling as they had hoped, she faded to 13th.

“It was a long night for us, but that’s part of racing”, says Power. “I really have to thank the crew for all their hard work getting the car back together for the feature. We have had a pretty good season for the most part, and nights like this are bound to happen I guess. We will keep working hard and hope next week will be better”.

This coming Friday night, Power will return to Mohawk International Raceway where she currently sits fifth in points going into the final three weeks of the regular season. At Brockville, Jessica remains in the top five there as well, currently in fourth place overall in the Sportsman division.

Jessica Power Continues Strong 2012 Season With Sixth Place Finish at Mohawk Raceway and a Top Five on Double Points Night at Brockville

As we enter the final month of the 2012 regular season, Jessica Power and the Power Racing team continue to run strong. They were looking to have a good night at both Mohawk Raceway on Friday night, and especially Brockville Speedway on Saturday night with their double laps, double purse double points night. A good night at Brockville would go a long way in solidifying her position amongst the Brockville Speedway Sportsman Five Stars for 2012.

Mohawk Raceway was the first stop on the weekend schedule for Jessica. A fourth place finish in her qualifying heat put the team to work looking for more speed for the 20 lap feature race. She rolled off the starting grid from outside of row four in the eighth position and moved inside the top five before the first caution on lap four. At the halfway point, Power had dropped to sixth, and maintained that position for the remaining laps. This was her fifth straight top ten finish at Mohawk Raceway and eighth out of the laps nine races at the track.

“It was a good run for us”, says Power. “We finally got the car going forward again after struggling a little the past couple weeks. Hopefully we can build on this. I would really like to get a win here at Mohawk before the end of the season”.

It was a big night at Brockville Speedway with double laps, double purse and double points on the line. Jessica struggled to a fourth place finish in her qualifying heat race, and again the team made some changes to get the car working better for the 50 lap main event. Starting ninth in the field, Power started out patiently, riding in tenth as the race approached lap number 10. By halfway though, Power was up to seventh, and closing in on the top five. With three laps remaining, Power moved up to fifth, and finished in that position.

Power has finished inside the top ten in 12 of 13 starts at Brockville this season, with her only finish outside of the top ten was an 11th. She has six top five finishes, including a win back on June 16th. Power is currently fourth in points in the Brockville Speedway Sportsman division with just four weeks remaining.

This coming Friday night, Power will have a rare night off as Mohawk International Raceway is closed for the week. They will return to Brockville Speedway on Saturday night looking for their second win of the season.

Jessica Power Scores Impressive Second Place Finish at Brockville Speedway; Top Ten Finish at Mohawk Raceway on Friday Night

The 2012 racing season has been very good for Jessica Power and the Power Racing team. There is no doubt that she has emerged as a top tier driver in the Sportsman division, and is certainly the most improved driver in this area in her division. Power sits in the top five in points at both weekly tracks, and has been a consistent top ten, and often top five finisher all season long. Power continued her strong season this past weekend with the usual weekly events at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and Brockville Speedway on Saturday.

At Mohawk Raceway, a total of 39 Sportsman entries were on hand for a special 40 lap St. Lawrence Seaway Series race. Power finished 11th in the first race of the series at Brockville back in May and was hoping to improve on that going into round two. Entering the track, Power had to draw to determine her heat race starting position. Power drew a high number, and would have to start her qualifying heat from fifth place. By the end of the qualifier, she advanced to third place, locking in her position in the 40 lap feature. Jessica rolled off the starting grid from the 13th position and struggled for much of the race. She would finish with a 10th place finish, but they were certainly looking for more.

“It was a struggle tonight, but I think we found some things out, and hopefully we will be better from here on out”, says Power. “Our goals going into the year were top fen finishes, and we seem to be doing that, but we know we are much better then this. We will continue to work hard, and hopefully next week will be better”.

The next event on the weekend schedule was at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night. Jessica started the night with a second place finish in her preliminary qualifier, and started the 25 lap feature from outside of the front row. Jessica remained in second place throughout the race, following the leader’s every move, waiting to pounce on a mistake by the race leader, but it never happened. A second place finish would be the end result.

“We tried several times to get a run on the race leader”, but we just couldn’t pull it off”, says Power. “I was being patient, waiting for him to slip up, or do something, but he drover a great race, and we had to settle for second”.

This coming week, Power will be back at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night for a regular show, then on to Brockville Speedway for one of the biggest events of the 2012 season as Bob Fm and Coca Cola present Triple Double night. It will be double laps, double purse and double points for all classes.
