“Team enters night race with high hopes”

June 19, 2010 – Looking to take the International Karting Federation (IKF) 2-Cycle Sprint Grand Nationals by storm, Position One Motorsports (POM) has put together a talented group of drivers to go after multiple race winning Duffies. With the event taking place at the Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, California, Position One Motorsports has put together an eight driver team that will compete in more than a combined twenty-five classes in the hopes of scoring race wins and podiums.

 “The Sprint Grand Nationals is a huge event for our team,” expressed Position One Motorsports owner Luis Martinez. “We look forward to this event and put hours upon hours of prep work into making sure we have everything perfect. We will have our team trailer there and will be offering trackside support to our current and potential customers.”

  “Three podiums”

June 14, 2010 – Position One Motorsports (POM) returned to racing action this past weekend at the fourth round of the Pro Kart Challenge North program at the Jim Russell International Karting Center in Sonoma, California. Entering four drivers, the team walked away with three podium results as they flexed their muscles proving that they are one of the premiere karting operations in the western half of the United States. 

“The team had a very strong outing,” expressed Team Coordinator Colin McGinnis. “We had a little bad luck in one of the main events that took us out of contention for the win but to leave a Superkarts! USA sanctioned event with three podiums is something to be proud of.” 

Randel King had a good outing last Saturday night driving the Position-One Motorsports, King Taco Restaurants # 30 Chevy Monte Carlo.  Starting on the front row, Randel drove a steady race. He survived a late race shootout between the top 5 positions and was actually running 2nd before being edged out by Ryan Reed as the two waged a fierce battle heading to the checkered. Randel ended up finishing in the 3rd place position.

The return of Sergio Pena to Toyota Speedway @ Irwindale ended on a high note with a 3rd place finish in the 50 lap feature last Saturday night. Sergio qualified 7th but ended up starting 6th due to a pile-up in the trophy dash. It took Sergio a few laps to get settled in after falling off the pace with leaders Nick Joanides and Ryan Reed. Steadily moving his way up through the field, he was able to bring the # 03 Position One Motorsports, King Taco Restaurants/Eibach Springs Chevy Monte Carlo home in 3rd place.
