Jessica Power Scores Top Ten Finishes at Brockville and Cornwall to End 2013 Regular Season; Raises over $400 for “Cuts for Cancer”

This past weekend was the final weekend on the “regular season” schedule for Jessica Power and the Power Racing team. Brockville Speedway hosted a 40 lap Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Series finale and Cornwall Speedway also hosted a 40 lap event of their own with the final round of the Seaway Sportsman Series.

The starting lineup for the qualifying heat races on Saturday night at Brockville were determined by a timed hot lap session. Jessica struggled early, posting the sixth fastest speed in her group, earning the sixth place starting spot in the heat race. She was able to advance to fifth place after the eight lap event which resulted in 14th place starting position for the 40 lap main event. The team made some adjustments to the car before the feature, and those changes worked as Power moved into the top ten before they had completed lap 10. At the halfway point of the race, Jessica was running in the eighth position, and continued to move forward. On the final corner, Power advanced to sixth place, finishing the 2013 season in sixth place in the overall point standings.

“We have had a good second half of the season”, says Power. “We are looking forward to the remaining events of the year with the DIRTcar Sportsman Series, and hopefully we can keep the momentum going”.

Cornwall Speedway was the next stop on the schedule on Sunday night. Jessica posted the fourth fastest speed in her time trial group, and finished fifth in the eight lap qualifying heat race, resulting in an 18th place starting position in the 40 lap main event. At the drop of the green flag, Jessica moved forward and the end result was a solid seventh place result.

This coming weekend will be a busy one for Jessica Power and the Power Racing team. They will travel west for a three race swing in the DIRTcar Sportsman Series with events at Ransomville Speedway on Friday night, Merrittville Speedway on Saturday night and Humberstone Speedway on Sunday night. This three-race swing will play a pivotal role in DIRTcar Sportsman Series which will continue with events at Mohawk Raceway, Brighton Speedway and RPM Speedway to end the month of September.
