Michael Stout WINS the Jr League Final & Jack Fresquez is declared "CHAMPION" on Sat. Aug. 4, 2012 at Octane Raceway

Sat. August 4, 2012 marked the date of the Jr League Finals.

Jack Fresquez now owns the right to be called Jr Summer League “Champion” of Octane Raceway with a well deserved win in the Heat and a 2^nd place finish in the Main.

Jack had a great finish to a nail biter of a season and Final. He set fast time in the qualifier to start the Heat race from the pole position and then raced away from the rest of the field. Fresquez ended up winning by 25 seconds or half a lap on the ½ mile GP Track layout. He would then start from pole position in a different kart for the 30 lap Main race.

The Main race became the showcase for the driver talent of Jr leaguer, Michael Stout. Michael started the Main race from P7 and cleanly worked his way thru the field to take a commanding lead by race end. 44 seconds separated Stout from 2^nd place Fresquez. Michael Stout was awarded the “Kandyman Award” for his never give up attitude and good sportsmanship throughout the Jr League series.

The points race came right down to the wire and with a one(1) race drop factored in, the point spread between the top three league racers was no more than 7. The point spread was only one point between Sam Gillum, 2^nd  with 107 and Kiana Lamanilao, 3^rd with 106.

The racing was not without it’s drama and became a real nail biter with black flag penalties going to some of the top racers vying for overall points. Good racing none the less and I want to Thank all the racers and their all important sponsors (parents) for taking the time and resources to do this.

You are all “WINNERS” in my book!
