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.
