5/12/2006 Jessie’s best 10 laps this year.

Jeff Rohrbaugh was the first to double up with two wins at Trail Way Speedway Friday night. Billy Dietrich had a strong run for second and a big win Saturday night at Lincoln. Congratulations to both.

Jessie was wearing her new loaner suit from Lady Eagle Design 500. “I love this suit” said Jessie. She must have had a dozen compliments on how good it looked on her. She ate that up. She even had several people stop her out side the pits and comment on her suit and the fact that they did not know a girl was racing at Trail-Way. Her previous black suit was pretty nondescript.

Jessie had her best 10 feature laps Friday night. Unfortunately the race was 25 laps and her 10 were the first 10.

In lap 11 she was running side by side with Billy Dietrich in about 5th when they came up on a car being lapped. That car and another connected and it started to role toward the outside wall in the middle of the straight between turn 2 and 3. Billy went high and Jessie went low when that same car hit someone else and cart wheeled back across the tack and over the top of Jessie. Both Jessie and Billy were gaining on the 4th place car at the time with Billy just passing Jessie coming out of turn 2. Jessie was having a great run.

Jeff Rohrbaugh and Billy Dietrich came from 11th and 12th, great runs for both of them.

With some damage to the top wing she still was still able to continue. The other driver was ok. The wing damage changed the handling enough to bring her back to 10th for the next 5 laps. Then in tight racing four cars were collected between 3 and 4 including hers. Unable to restart the car, she finished 16th. All in all a great run and minimal damage considering the trouble lost a top wing, front wing and the posts.
