Motorsports Fan Report
By Jim Zufall

Rweb Note: This week Jim includes an interview/video produced by Aaron Zufall. Great job, Jim and Aaron!

04/20/12...On as nice a Friday evening as any race promoter could hope for, Motordrome Speedway opened the gates for week two of the 2012 season last Friday, April 20th. With 71 cars in the pits for racing action, according to track announcer Mike Lysakowski, this was an increase over opening night a week before. The Super Compact division had 18 cars checked into the pit area, which speaks not only to the popularity of the division, but the prospect of more young drivers coming up through the ranks in coming years.

After the heat racing action, the Street Stock division took to the track for their 25 lap feature. After a number of years piloting a stock car on the dirt of Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Speedway, AJ Poljak has created quite a stir in the Motordrome Asphalt Street Stocks. Poljak dominated the feature race with his only challenge coming with the checkered flag in sight. A caution came out as the flagman had the checkered in his hands, essentially eliminating the half straightaway lead held by Poljak. When the green white checkered was completed he showed it was more than luck that had him out front for so many laps. He has proven he'll be a force to contend with in the coming months on the pavement of Motordrome.
