Berkley, MA – (September 23, 2008) – In the final points race of the 2008 season, Jake was involved in an accident which resulted in a 15th place finish.
“It was an unfortunate night. We had a great car and we got hit from behind only 10 laps into the race. There was no doubt that we would have finished in the top five, and we may have even had a car good enough for the win.”
In the overall point standings, Jake ended up finishing in the seventh position despite the fact that he missed a race. He also finished second in the Rookie of the Year running.
“I am pleased with how our first season in this division went. This was a lot different from the Allison Legacy car which we were in last year, and we showed that we were up for the challenge. We did not win a race, but we were competitive every week.”
The next race for the MDM team will be Sunday, October 12, 2008 – the D. Anthony Vendetti Festival of Auto Racing 100. Qualifying will take place on Saturday, October 11.
