Successful Weekend For Young Russum |
|
MAY 22, 2005...Russum Racing and 16-year-old driver
Patrick "Hot Rod" Russum of Citrus Heights, Ca. picked up a pair of
third place finishes over the weekend in his Eagle On Friday night, Russum ran with the Central States Racing Association at Sacramento Raceway Park, finishing third in a reduced 20 lap feature. The Mira Loma High School junior was trying to defend his win on opening night. Thanks to heavy rains, Sacramento's surface stayed heavy
all night providing for great sprint car racing. Saturday, Russum competed at
one of his favorite tracks, John Padjen Motorsports' Placerville Speedway, in
the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. "P-ville was much heavier to start out with, but Sacramento stayed pretty consistent all night," Russum said. Russum's visit to Placerville was a success compared to his visit a month ago, that resulted in a hard crash. Russum has seen great improvement in just his second season
racing the spec sprints. "I'm still learning, but we are definitely getting the hang of it." Russum Racing would like to thank their sponsors Ejay's Speedway Automotive, Rods R Us, BellFabrication and Welding, KC's 23 1/2 Hour Plumbing, BHJ Products, and European Auto Body. Their next race tentatively schedule is for Twin Cities
Speedway in Marysville, Ca. Russum is running the full CSRA circuit. |
