Jessica Power Racing Silent Auction Set for This Week at Frontenac Mall Motorsports Expo; Fundraiser to Help Send Jessica to RACE 101 Program

There is no question that racing is an expensive sport, and anyone that has ever been associated with a race team can attest to that. Jessica Power and her race team have a strong group of marketing partners that have come on board to help off-set some of the costs involved. This year, Power has a unique opportunity as a scholarship recipient from the RACE 101 school in North Carolina where she attends a few classes per year in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, and weekly online seminars as well.

This coming weekend, Jessica and her team will have their car on display at the Frontenac Mall in Kingston, Ontario. The team will be hosting a silent auction, with several great items up for grabs, donated by various local business, tracks within the Northeast, and many other businesses that Jessica and her team have associated with. All items were donated to Jessica for the auction, and the proceeds will help Jessica with the costs involved in attending the prolific racing school.

Some of the items that will be available through the silent auction include a pair of tickets to Canandaigua Motorsports Park to see Tony Stewart compete in a Sprint Car. 2 tickets to Fulton Speedway for July 17th when Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne are competing with the All Star Sprint Car Series, a $75 Gift Certificate for Sherwood Racing Wheels, a diecast Tony Stewart car from Starting Line Hobbies, a model Dirt Modified car (Billy Decker, Brett Hearn or Danny Johnson courtesy of Racers Preferred Models, a zero gravity chair from 1000 Islands RV, items from Fastenal, a Go Nuclear Late Model Series ‘Hoodie’, an oil change from Speedy Auto Service (691 Princess St.), tool belt from Master’s and a Finish Line Web Design hat. More items will be added leading up to the show, which starts on Thursday morning when the mall opens. The show runs through Saturday afternoon.

“We have had a lot of support from everyone, and I really appreciate it”, says Power. “We have some great items available in the silent auction, and I look forward to talking to people at the show. Generally we get a lot of race fans come through, but there are also a lot of Mall regulars that maybe have never been to one of our races, and I look forward to talking to them as well”.

Many people are unaware of what RACE 101 is all about. It is not just a school. RACE 101 stands for Research, Analyze, Consult, and Educate 1 on 1. The yearly Scholarship Program focuses on working with specially selected young drivers (ages 13-28) from the US and Canada through an application process similar to a college or university. The program lasts over the course of a year, with proven teaching and coaching methods that give the students one on one time with instructors, classroom time, track time, hands-on experience as well as homework assignments and weekly online seminars.

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, Bert Transmission Atomic Sign Works, Bob Hilbert Sportswear, South Eastern Mechanical Inc., Camara Slate, and Finish Line Web Design for their support during the 2012 racing season, and we look forward to a very exciting 2013 campaign.
