Jessica Power Scores Top Five Finish at Brockville Speedway on Saturday Night and Two Top Tens in Double Features at Cornwall on Sunday Night

It was a rather busy weekend for Jessica Power and the Power Racing team as they attended Brockville Speedway on Saturday night, followed by double features at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday to make up for a postponed feature from earlier in the season.

At Brockville, Jessica finished a strong second place in the eight lap qualifying heat race and reported to the pit area for some adjustments before hitting the track for the 25 lap main event. She rolled off the starting grid from the third position, and settled into fourth place for most of the first half of the race. At the checkered flag, Power ended the night with a solid fifth place result, moving her up to sixth place in points with just three races remaining.

The action moved on to Cornwall Speedway on Sunday day night with double features on the card, making up for the postponed feature from June 23rd. The make up feature was up first and Jessica started from the third and had fallen to sixth place when the first caution of the race came on lap six. Power maintained a top ten position throughout the 20 lap distance, and crossed the finish line with an eighth place finish. In the second 20 lap feature, Jessica started from 11th and battled to her second top ten finish of the evening, crossing the finish line with a tenth place result.

“We ended the weekend with three top ten finishes, so we are good with that”, says Power. “We were hoping to be a little better at Cornwall in the two features, but we will take it and move on to next week”.

Power is currently sixth place in points at Brockville, locked in a very close battle with only twenty points separating positions 6 through 11 in the standings. The goal for the rest of the season at Brockville is to continue to post solid finishes in the remaining three races, and try and move up into the top five. At Cornwall Speedway, Jessica is seventh in points, but again is locked in a very close battle with three events remaining. She is only five points out of the top five, and just 25 points behind the fourth place driver.

This coming weekend, Jessica Power will be back at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night and on to Cornwall Speedway once again on Sunday. The Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series resumes on Friday, September 6th at Ransomville Speedway that kicks off a three race swing with stops at Merrittville Speedway on Saturday, September 7th and Humberstone Speedway on Sunday, September 8th.
