POSITION ONE MOTORSPORTS SCORES SOLID RESULTS OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND

 "Three Podiums, Two Victories and Two Championships"

 

September 7, 2010 - The holiday weekend proved to be nothing but a
successful one for Position One Motorsports (POM) as the team returned to
racing in two different series as they looked to challenge for race wins and
podiums. While a few team pilots travelled to the Pro Kart Challenge (PKC)
North event at the Jim Russell Karting Center, others headed to the Gold
Rush event at the Stockton Motorplex in the hopes of standing atop the
podium.

 

Heading to the PKC event was a trio of drivers that were all looking for
wins in their respective classes. The P1 Engines Motori 7 powered Maddox
chassis driven by Bobby Kelley did not disappoint in his quest for victory
as the talented driver took the checkers in the TaG Senior division. After
scoring the pole position earlier in the day, Kelley went on to claim first
and third place results in his heat races before dominating the final and
taking the victory by more than three seconds to his nearest competitor.

 

A pair of Position One Motorsports drivers would enter the TaG Junior
classes and both of them would have solid runs this weekend. The P1 Engines
powered Maddox chassis of Nicholas Morales would have the better results of
the duo claiming the second step of the podium when the day had concluded.
Challenging with the leaders all day long, Morales qualified outside the
front row and went on to claim a solid third in heat one and first in the
second heat. Looking to carry the momentum through the final, the Maddox
driver would fall just short as he came home in the second position.

 

Also competing in TaG Junior aboard a P1 Engines powered Avanti chassis was
up and coming pilot Devin Sanchez. Showing his true consistency, Sanchez
qualified fourth and finished fourth in every on track element throughout
the event but ran with the leaders and would challenge for a podium result.

 

With their solid results and consistency throughout the season, both Bobby
Kelley (TaG Senior) and Devin Sanchez (TaG Junior) secured their
championships in the Pro Kart Challenge North program.

 

The results would keep coming for Position One Motorsports at the Gold Rush
event at Stockton Motorplex. Competing in Yamaha Senior Super Sportsman
Pipe, Nick Johnston would have a solid qualifying run that would see him
turn the fourth quickest time of the session. Looking to improve from his
outside second row starting position, Johnston claimed the third position in
the heat race before going on to take the checkers in the main event aboard
his P1 Engines powered Maddox chassis.

 

Nicholas Morales would make the trek to Stockton from the PKC event to do
battle in the KPV 2 category. With limited on track action, Morales would
qualify outside the fourth row before finishing sixth in his heat race.
After a hectic start to the main event, Morales would manage to score an
eighth place result in the final.

 

"Our drivers had another incredible weekend of racing," stated Luis
Martinez, owner of Position One Motorsports. "We managed to lock up a pair
of championships in Pro Kart and had strong results at Gold Rush. We are
peaking at the perfect time of the season as we begin our preparation for
the biggest race of the year, the Superkarts! USA SuperNationals."
