Jessica Power Accomplishes Primary Goal in First Race of 2013; Busy Weekend Ahead With BOS Fan Fair and Return Trip to Canandaigua

Following the same format as she did to start the 2012 season, Jessica Power and the Power Racing team made their season debut at Canandaigua Motorsports Park, just east of Rochester, New York. The primary goal on the opening day was to make the race and run all the laps, which was a task in itself, because of the number of cars, and the quality drivers that had signed into the pit area. Canandaigua is a track that Jessica has very limited experience at, so getting some time on the track was the main purpose of the trip.

Power was up to the challenge, and was impressive in her qualifying heat race. She finished the race in second place, making the all-important redraw for a top 8 starting spot in the night’s 35 lap main event. Jessica drew the seventh position, and lined up on the inside of row four at the drop of the green flag. Although the race was a bit of a struggle, Jessica did accomplish her goal of running every lap of the race, and her success early in the preliminary events made this years trip to Canandaigua a great success.

“The car was really good in the heat race, and I just didn’t want to make to many drastic changes on the car”, says Power. “We were a little bit off during the feature, and we struggled. I am very pleased overall though, and it was great to get back on the track and get some laps in before the season starts at home”.

This coming weekend will be busy for Jessica and her team. She will be at Walmart in Brockville on Saturday from 10am to 1pm for the second annual Brockville Speedway Fan Fair, and will depart there for a return trip to Canandaigua, looking to better her finish from the previous week. Power will also attend opening night at Merrittville Speedway on April 27th, before Brockville Speedway opens for the 2013 season for practice on May 4th, and opening night on May 11th.
