Making her fist start at Can Am in almost a year, Jessica started from the back of her preliminary qualifying heat race, and worked her way up inside the top five. She started the 25 lap main event from the 15th starting spot, and progressed steadily through the field. By lap ten, she was inside the top 10 and continued to move forward. With a caution slowing the field with just three laps remaining Jessica was in seventh place and moved up one spot when one of the leaders lost power under caution. With the green flag back out, Power worked her way up one more position for a fantastic fifth place finish.
“We had a real good run here tonight at Can Am”, says Power after the race. “It has been a year since we last visited this track, so to come out of here with a top five finish after starting deep in the field is a great way to start our season”.
On Saturday, Power made the trip to Brockville Speedway for their annual practice day, leading up to opening night this coming weekend. Despite being on a track with conditions unlike anything they will see during the season, the practice was a success, and Power is looking forward to the 2013 opener at the BOS.
Jessica Power and the Power Racing team would like to invite all young fans to check out the kids club section of our website. Download and print the cartoon racecar and submit to Jessica after the races each night. The last Saturday of every month during the season, Jessica will pick a random winner among the entries received, and that young fan will win a photo of Jessica's car and another prize that has yet to be determined. Depending on number of entries received, Jessica would like to hang the photos up inside the trailer throughout the month preceding the draw. So get out your crayons and markers, download the photo on the website, print it off and get coloring. You could be a winner. The first draw will take place on Saturday, May 25th at Brockville Speedway.
Saturday night’s opener at the BOS will be an emotional night for everyone, as it is the first annual Glen Gould Memorial night. Glen was a big part of the Power Racing team, as a sponsor, but more importantly he was a great friend to everyone. Power, along with fellow Sportsman competitor Dana Aikins will carry a tribute paint scheme this weekend to honor Glen Gould.
