Mar. 30, 2009  High Highs and Low Lows This Week 

Jessie Morrison had some high highs and low lows this week for the driver of the 20|20 Power 358 Sprint Car. 

Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway was rained out.

Jessie lost her Uncle Wayne this past week.  You could see him and her Aunt Cheryl most weekends in the stands next to mom rooting for Jessie.  He and Cheryl were regulars in the front straight near turn one at Trail Way Speedway and in the straight at Lincoln Speedway in the front straight near turn four.  Jessie will miss his big smile after races no matter what the result.  He was always offering to put his Ford Pantera motor in her Sprint car to replace the 358 Chevy.  Yes he was a big Ford fan. 

He will be missed, Racing is about family after all. 

The high this week was the chance to Co-Host Race Night on Adams Community Television (ACTV) with John Krall who is moving on to be the voice of the O’Reilly All Star Late Model Series (ASLMS) this year.  Craig Wagaman and his car owner Kimmy Lawrence were the perfect first guests as Jessie sat on the other side of the table for the first time.  Asking questions, listening to the answer and preparing for the next question all while remembering the name of the next caller provided an all new experience for the Driver turned Co-Host for the night.  Even the phone was a new experience!  Having never taken a conference call, talking to a phone was new.  “We will practice that” said Jessie.  The good news “no callers were lost”.  There are a couple of pictures on Jessie’s picture page http://www.jessiemorrison.com/photos.html. 

John Krall was a big help in the transition.  Sue and Lynn Borror, promoters of Race Night, and Mark Wherley the station manager were happy to have the young driver as the Co-Host.  Morrison will be back this Tuesday night Hosting Race Night with her guest being Sam Murphy the Vice President of York County Racing Club known as the YCRC.  Be sure to tune in at 7:00 pm.  There is a link on Jessie's front page. 

This Friday night is the start of the 358 Sprint season at Trail Way Speedway, Jessie hopes to see you there; if not there, at your local track.  Have a great week!
