Inside Line Promotions – VISALIA, Calif. (April 14, 2015) – Giovanni Scelzi is remaining optimistic despite enduring a DNF for the third straight race last Friday at Plaza Park Raceway.
“We’ve been in contention when the bad luck has occurred so once we can turn the corner away from it we’ll be in great shape,” he said. “It’s just part of racing. Sometimes things don’t go your way.”
Scelzi kicked off his micro sprint event last weekend by qualifying 10th quickest around the bullring.
“The track was good,” he said. “It was good enough for me to set quick time. I just missed my marks.”
That lined him up on the pole of a heat race, which he won, to advance into the main event. He started on the outside of the front row for the 30-lap feature.
“The race track was absolutely perfect,” he said. “The top was really, really high. I was one of the only people running it.”
Scelzi maintained the runner-up position throughout the first third of the race before mechanical issues forced him to call it a night early.
“I’m confident that we’ll earn a trip back to Victory Lane sooner than later,” he said.
