Podium Run Keeps Sodeman on Top in Lernerville Title Chase
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
NORTH JACKSON, Ohio (August 16, 2016) – With only two points events remaining on the 2016 Lernerville Speedway agenda, North Jackson, Ohio, native Jack Sodeman, Jr. is well on his way to securing a first-ever track championship at the Sarver, Pennsylvania, oval. Sodeman, a three-time main event winner at Lernerville Speedway in 2016, finished third during his most recent feature start on Friday night, August 12, increasing his championship margin by 28 points heading into the Friday night, August 19, program. The Lernerville Speedway point season will conclude on Friday, August 26.
“Feels good to be in the position that we are in,” Sodeman explained. “At the beginning of the year, we decided that we wouldn’t focus our time on any particular point title, but instead, race regionally as much as we could despite our work schedules. Now that we are in the position that we are in, it’s tough to ignore the chance for a championship. We’ve been having a great year. We are all pretty excited to see how things unfold.”
In addition to a championship run at Lernerville Speedway, Jack Sodeman, Jr. continues to hold down the top spot at Mercer Raceway Park, chasing a second consecutive title and a third overall. Similar to the Lernerville Speedway agenda, only two point races remain on the Mercer Raceway Park calendar, ending officially on Saturday, August 27. Sodeman owns a 121 point lead on the strength of four feature victories.
“I can’t thank my sponsors enough for their support,” Sodeman said. “I also want to thank all those who take the time to help with the car. There is a lot of behind the scenes work that goes on during the week. Preparing to get to the track is just as important as our performance on the track.”
