MORTENSEN RACE REPORT FOR JUNE 19, 2010

After two consecutive Saturday’s when rain cancelled the racing program at the Fonda Speedway, sunshine and hot temperatures greeted all of the race car drivers on Saturday June, 19. Scotia, NY driver Mark Mortensen was anxious to get back on the track after more changes were made to the car during the off time to try and improve the handling of the Jumpin' Jack's Drive In sponsored #1M. Mortensen started sixth in heat race number one and after the eight lap distance ended up finishing second, placing him in the third row in the sixth starting position for the 20-lap feature event. By lap six of the feature event he had already moved up to the second position after passing two cars at once in Mark’s trademark outside groove. On lap 12 a lap car blocked the outside groove that Mortensen was using, breaking his momentum and allowing another car to get by him for the second position. Mark finished the event in the second position, giving him his sixth top five finish in six events this season (two seconds, two thirds, and two fifths). The Mortensen Motorsports Racing Team is already looking forward to 2011 as the Sportsman division that he currently competes in may not be a part of the 2011 racing program at the Track of Champions Fonda Speedway forcing them to start racing in a different division. With that in mind you or your business can join the Jumpin' Jack's Drive In of Scotia and become a sponsor on the #1M race car as there is always room for additional sponsors whether they are monetary or product sponsors. To find out more about sponsorship opportunities on the #1M you can call car owner Bonnie Mortensen-Szczerba at 518-882-7011.
