It was a busy weekend for Jessica Power and her race team as they had double features at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night to make up for the postponed feature from the previous week. They also traveled to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday looking to repeat their winning performance from their last visit to the track. With the month of August upon us, the point battles are starting to take shape, with just a few weeks remaining in the regular season.
The night began at Brockville Speedway with the postponed feature race from last week. Jessica started from the 15th position and slowly moved forward during the opening laps of the race. On lap six, Jessica narrowly escaped major damage after a big crash on the front straightaway. By the halfway point of the race, Power was inside the top ten and advanced one more position to ninth before the checkered flag. In the qualifying heat race for the regularly scheduled event for Saturday night, Jessica finished fourth, and returned to the track later in the night for the second 25-lap feature, starting from the 12th position. It was a tough track to pass on by the end of the night, and Jessica ended the night with a 13th place finish.
The action moved on to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night. Despite several showers throughout the afternoon and early evening, the show continued as scheduled. In the last race at Cornwall, Jessica ended in victory lane, and the previous race she was in a photo finish and ended second. She was hoping for another strong run this week. With several crashes through the night due to track conditions from all the rain, Jessica battled cautiously after starting deep in the field and ended the night with an 11th place finish.
With just four events remaining at each track, Jessica Power will be looking for a strong finish. She is currently eighth place in points at Brockville Speedway, only 15 points out of the top six. At Cornwall Speedway she is in fourth place in the Sportsman point standings.
This coming weekend, Jessica Power will be back at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night and on to Cornwall Speedway once again as they host double features for the Sportsman division to make up for the rained out events on Sunday, June 23rd.
