KRZYSIK WINS FIRST CAREER LATE MODEL FEATURE AT STOCKTON

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA (October 11, 2011) – 20 year-old Jamie Krzysik drove the Bill McAnally Racing #16 Late Model to victory in the first 75 lap feature on Sunday afternoon at Stockton 99 Speedway during the Fall Classic open show.  The 2010 IMCA Canadian National Champion picked up his first career Late Model victory in just his seventh career start.

Krzysik, a member of Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle driver development, opened up the weekend by qualifying second with a 14.142 second lap around the quarter-mile bullring.  The lap was just .02 seconds off of the pole and after finishing second in his heat race he started outside pole for the trophy dash.

Driving the #16 Isley Group Chevrolet, Krzysik led all four laps to win the trophy dash to wrap up Saturday’s activities with the twin 75 lap races set for Sunday.

Krzysik started the race fourth and ran fourth through the lap six caution.  The lap six restart saw the leaders tangle and spin, with Krzysik snaking through to move up to second place.

A lapped car spun on lap 44 right in front of Krzysik to bring out another yellow but the leader pulled away from Krzysik on the restart.  The caution came out again on lap 54.

Krzysik took advantage of the leader picking the high side to take the lead on the restart.  The battle continued as second place dove inside to go side-by-side with Krzysik for nearly 10 laps.

Krzysik eventually pulled away to take the narrow win by just two tenths of a second for his first Late Model victory. The second 75 lap race had Krzysik starting fifth and the race had few cautions forcing to Krzysik to finish fourth.

“Jamie did a great job this weekend against some tough customers at Stockton,” Driver Coach Ron Sutton said.  “Now he will return to Roseville this week where he has a shot at another win!”

Krzysik will race at his home track Roseville’s All American Speedway this Friday night as part of a special event for NASCAR Late Models.  A large crowd is expected as the NASCAR K&N Pro Series, West races the following night.  Race fans can follow all the action beginning at 5 p.m. on www.jamiekrzysikracing.com
