T.J. Michael Will Revisit Mercer Raceway Park on Saturday
Earns Pair of Top-Ten Finishes with ‘305’ at Fremont
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
Fremont, Ohio (May 27th, 2015) – For the second time in 2015, ‘The Texas Traveler’ T.J. Michael will venture east from his Fremont, Ohio based race shop and enter action at the Mercer Raceway Park in Mercer, Pennsylvania. Michael, driver of the Advanced Cast Stone, Fremont Fence Company, Kear’s Speed Shop, no. 8M ‘410’ sprint car, made his first ever visit to the Mercer 3/8’s mile dirt oval back on Saturday, May 9th; finishing tenth during main event action. The Plano, Texas native will to return to ‘M.R.P.’ this Saturday night, May 30th in hopes of surpassing previous results, and perhaps earn a career-first win in the state of Pennsylvania.
“We had a lot of fun during our last visit to Mercer so we’ve been anxious to get back there” said T.J. Michael, “It reminds me of some places I’ve raced at before…we race on a few small tracks in Ohio pretty regularly so I knew I would get comfortable pretty quick…took some laps to get adjusted but it went pretty well for us…we earned a top-ten during our first start there so that was motivating…we learned a lot so at least we have something to look back on when we head there this weekend.”
Mercer Raceway Park will feature a full program for the ‘410’ sprint cars this Saturday night; also welcoming the ‘Patriot 360 Sprints’ for a special appearance. T.J. Michael will use his trip to Mercer Raceway Park as a season turnaround point for his ‘410’ program. The 2015 season has been tough for the ‘410’ sprint car rookie, with his two most recent starts ending before the A-main.
“Things have been tough this year but we are learning and that is most important” said T.J. Michael, “It will take some time but we’ll get where we need to be soon…we had a rough few days last weekend at Fremont with our ‘410’ program…ended up not making the show with the All Stars on the 23rd and then got tore up on the 24th…we are going to just keep racing as much as we can…it’s the only way i’ll learn.”
Despite the tough weekend in the ‘410’ sprint car ranks, T.J. Michael was able to secure back-to-back top-ten finishes at the Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio during ‘305’ sprint car competition. The ‘305’ sprint cars acted as a support division for the All Star Circuit of Champions at Fremont Speedway on May 23rd & 24th. Michael finished seventh during both programs.
