After the extensive damage it suffered, the #17 car was still not ready to return to the track this week.  The winner of tonight's Late Model feature event was Rick Carver in the #61.

Due to the extreme amount of damage that was suffered to the #17 car in last weekend's race and a lack of primary sponsorship funds, the JWM team was unable to compete in this week's race.  The winner of the Late Model feature event was Jon Knoll in the #9.

Numerous adjustments were made to the JWM #17 car before returning to the race track after last week's disappointing finish.  The team's efforts initially paid off as Jenny started the heat race from the outside of the front row and grabbed the early lead from polesetter Brian Woods to bring home the win.  Jenny then started the feature race from the pole position and once again jumped out to an early lead.  On lap 9, an incident between Tony Pittman and Buddy Benedict brought out the caution bringing Ronnie Hartford and Rod Cordon up within striking distance.  Lap 12 then saw Hartford challenging Jenny on the outside for the lead, but he was unsuccessful.  Cordon then took over the second position and on lap 18 he dove under Jenny going into turn 3 sending her backwards into the wall.  Cordon was then sent to pit lane for rough driving and his subsequent unsportsmanlike actions resulted in his full year suspension from any events held at I-70 Speedway.  The JWM team did the best they could to repair the #17.  Jenny was able to return to the race track, but upon restarting the race she found the damage to the car to be too severe to continue.

After returning from a trip to Indianapolis to recognize her accomplishments as a winning female racecar driver, the 17 car seemed to be cursed.  Jenny started the heat race from the outside of row 2.  She had a great start jumping out to second place, but with a bump from Rod Cordon she was shuffled back to third.  Jenny was then challenged for the third position by Buddy Benedict.  The two ran side by side for several laps, but while managing her ill-handling car Jenny had to give up the position and settle for a 4th place finish.  The JWM team did not participate in last weekend's race, therefore Jenny then started the feature race from the 10th position.  She quickly fell into 9th on the start, but still fighting an uncooperative car, she was unable to do much more.  On lap 16, the 24 of Dave Wilson suffered an engine failure moving Jenny up to the 8th position where she then finished the race.

Jenny did not participate at I-70 Speedway this weekend as she was personally invited by Lyn St.James to attend the 2nd annual "Women in the Winner's Circle" event in Indianapolis.  The purpose of the event was to recognize and celebrate the achievements of women in motorsports and to help pave the way for the future growth of motorsports.  Following the fund-raising luncheon, Jenny was chosen to participate in a panel of four drivers who answered questions and spoke about their racing careers and future goals.  All of the drivers were then invited to attend a closed roundtable discussion with industry leaders.

Tonight's CARB night at the races saw Jenny starting from the 5th position in the Late Model heat race.  At the start of the race, Jenny raced door to door with Dave Wilson in the 24 car to take over the 4th position.  By the time she gained the position the leaders had already established a healthy lead and Jenny was forced to settle for a 4th place heat race finish.  As a result of winning last weekend's race, Jenny was to start the feature race in 6th, but was moved to 5th when Jon Knoll in the #9 elected to start at the tail of the field.  Jenny once again raced side by side with Wilson for the 4th position.  She finally won the battle on lap 6 and then used the remaining 24 laps to reel in and pass the #61 of Rick Carver resulting in a 3rd place feature finish.

Finishing second in the heat race behind the #24 of Dave Wilson, Jenny then started the night’s feature event on the inside of the third row.  On the first lap, Wilson, who started from the third position, went under the pole setter Larry Clark.  Jenny and Rod Cordon attempted to follow his lead, but were unsuccessful, resulting in a five car pile up including Jenny’s 17 and the 12, 65, 97, and 18 cars.  The race then restarted with Jenny and the other cars involved at the tail of the field.  She didn’t let the early incident hold her back though, as she then quickly raced her way up through the field to the 5^th position, when the #18 of Bill Driscoll appeared to have something break and found himself in the turn two wall.  Under the red flag condition, Ron Hartford, who was leading the race at the time, made a trip to pit lane for mechanical reasons.  Jenny then restarted the race in third and quickly passed the #9 of Jon Knoll to take over second and chase down the leader, Dave Wilson.  On lap 17, Wilson caught lapped traffic.  Jenny used the slower car to her advantage and maneuvered between the two to take over the lead.  She then maintained a five car length lead to take the checkered flag for her third win this season.

It was another cold and windy night for racing, but at least it wasn't raining.  After qualifying second fastest in the Late Model field, Jenny started the feature race on the second row, inside.  What was supposed to be a 75 lap feature event, was shortened to only a 50 lap race after Garrett Stonum, in the #11, spun in turn one sending him head first into the wall on lap 12.  This caused a lengthy red flag condition as everyone waited for the Life Star helicopter to transport Stonum from the race track.  It was later reported that Stonum was conscious at the time of transport and suffered no major injuries.

On the restart, Jenny started third, behind Rod Cordon's #12 and Rick Carver's #61.  One lap later, Carver suffered an engine problem that would end his night early and move Jenny up to second for the next restart.  Jenny was then tight on Cordon's bumper ready to challenge for the lead, when Dave Wilson, Sam Payne, and Patrick Lawson got together in turn three bringing out another red flag.  After a questionable restart with Cordon several car lengths ahead of the field and only 7 laps remaining, Jenny was unable to capture the lead and had to settle for a second place finish.

She's Hot with Two in a Row!

It was a beautiful night for racing, but unfortunately it didn't show in the Late Model car count.  Due to the low number, the eight Late Models all lined up in the same heat race with Jenny bringing up the tail of the inside lane.  Jon Knoll started the race behind pole-setter Rod Cordon, who suffered mechanical difficulty on the start allowing Knoll to jump out to an early lead.  Jenny quickly worked her way through the field to second, but was unable to run down Knoll in the eight lap heat race.  Based on last week's results, Jenny then started the feature event from the outside of the third row.  Rick Carver who started  from the outside of the second row was able grab the lead on lap one, but with Jenny close in tow.  Jenny held the pressure on Carver until the last lap of the green to checkered race when Carver lost control of his car coming out of turn four.  Jenny then grabbed the opportunity to take over and lead the final lap to bring two in a row for the Jenny White Motorsports team!

Due to the wet weather and extreme cold conditions, racing scheduled for tonight was canceled.  Races will resume next Saturday night.

The I-70 Speedway season opener started with a full moon and cold temperatures.  The Late Models began their night with two heat races.  The first was won by Jenny and the second was won by the #86 of Buddy Benedict.  For the feature race, 13 cars filled the field with Jenny sitting on the pole.  As they took the green flag to start the race, Rod Cordon's #12 got into the back of Jenny's 17.  She was able to keep control of her car and continue on, but Cordon's #12, the #48 of Patrick Lawson and the #52 of Sam Payne were all taken out of the race.  On the restart, Jenny and Benedict ran side by side for four laps until she was able to pull ahead and lead all of the remaining laps.  On lap 30, Benedict tangled with the #65 of Ryck Sanders taking both out of the race.  Jenny went on to win the first race of the season!
