Jessica Power Getting Ready For First Ever Super DIRT Week Appearance

For the first time in her young racing career, Jessica Power and her DIRTcar Sportsman team are making their final preparations for Super DIRT Week. The busy week will begin on Wednesday night for a Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series race at Cayuga County Fair Speedway, and will continue the rest of the week at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse.

Once the Power Racing team rolls into the New York State Fairgrounds on Thursday, they will have practice and time trials for the Sportsman Futures Race, then Friday will be more practice and qualifying for Saturday’s Sportsman Championship race as well as the Futures race event. Saturday will be the 30 lap Sportsman Series race. The Futures race is geared for teams that have not raced at Syracuse before in their respective divisions, and gives them a little more track time to adjust to the fast speeds that are seen at the Fairground’s mile long track.

“We are pretty excited about racing at Syracuse this year”, says Power. “We have had a pretty good season, and have had a lot of support from our sponsors and fans, and I can’t wait to get out there and see what we can do”.

Right now, the team is putting some finishing touches on the car, including putting a brand new body on the car, and going over every last detail making sure they are ready for the biggest Sportsman Series race of the season. Super DIRT Week is often described as the “Daytona 500” of DIRTcar racing, and the team is anxious to get started.

Once Syracuse is complete, Power will have one final event remaining on her 2012 schedule. She will return to Brockville Speedway for the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals as they host the DIRTcar Sportsman Series finale on Sunday, October 14th.

The Power Racing team still has their racing apparel for sale at the track each week. The profits from the sales of the team shirts will be used to fund their efforts for Super DIRT Week. To purchase your shirt, visit us at the track on raceday, or email power52racing@hotmail.com.
