Jessica Power Wins First of 2013 at Brockville Ontario Speedway; Cornwall Speedway Sportsman Feature Postponed Due to Rain

The 2013 racing season has certainly been frustrating for Jessica Power and the Power Racing team through the first few weeks of the season. Bad luck, and just simply being at the wrong place at the wrong time had taken its toll on the team. They were hoping for a much better week, with event planned at Can Am Motorsports Park on Wednesday night, followed by the usual weekly events at Brockville Speedway on Saturday and Cornwall Speedway on Sunday.

It was a big night or racing at Can Am on Wednesday night with 35 Sportsman cars signed into the pit area all aiming for the $2000 to win payout. Jessica had a great night, finishing with a strong seventh place finish.

On Saturday night, Jessica was at Brockville Speedway looking to build some momentum off their strong outing at Can Am. Jessica had a fast car, and finished second in her qualifying heat race. In the 25 lap main event, she started from the front row and quickly jumped out to the lead. She held the top spot for all 25 laps, holding off the two time defending Brockville Speedway champion to claim her first victory of 2013.

“We really needed this one”, says Power from victory lane. “It really has been demoralizing for all of us the way things have gone the first few weeks of the season. I really have to thank the crew for all their hard work, this just makes it all worthwhile”.

After leaving Brockville, the team made the trip to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday. Jessica finished second in her qualifying race, and after making some adjustments to the car, they were ready for the 20 lap feature. Rain began to fall just before the Sportsman teams were set to lineup, and the race will now be postponed to a later date.

Jessica Power apparel is available at Brockville Speedway on Saturday nights throughout the season. Stop by the Finish Line Web Design merchandise trailer located behind the main grandstand to purchase your t-shirts or hoodies.
