Jessica Power Finishes Second at Cornwall Speedway in Thrilling Sportsman Feature on Sunday Night; Busy Week Ahead for Power & Team

It was a quiet weekend for Jessica Power and the Power Racing team, with Brockville Speedway having a night off for the Sportsman division on Saturday night. The only race on the schedule was Sunday night at Cornwall Speedway and Jessica was looking for a solid finish. It has been tough going so far this year at Cornwall, with either rain affecting the program virtually ever week, and bad luck in the races that they have ran.

Sunday night was a new night, and Power was hopeful that it would be a good night. She started the 20 lap feature from the sixth position, and quickly moved forward. The caution was out on lap five, and Jessica had moved into the fourth position and had had great restart, soon taking the lead before the halfway point of the race. Jessica looked poised to bring home her first ever Cornwall Speedway feature win, but she fell to second on the final corner of the final lap.

“It really is a tough way to lose the race”, says Power after the race. “I just made a little mistake, trying to take the line away, and I really should have stuck to doing what had done the rest of the race. Overall I am happy with our performance, but right now it is just a little disappointing”.

It will be a busy week for Jessica and the Power Racing team this week as they start of with a return to Brockville Speedway on Saturday night for a regular show. It will also be driver autograph night, giving race fans an opportunity to meet Jessica and her fellow drivers on the track during intermission. On Sunday, they travel to Cornwall Speedway and will continue east into Quebec of a Monday night event at Autodrome Drummond and Tuesday night at Autodrome Granby for the next two rounds of the DIRTcar Sportsman Series.
