Johnston Seeks 3rd Title as POWER Series Kicks off Season 5.

A lot has changed since the POWER Series started four seasons ago at ISRA. During its growth the series has seen changes in everything from race formats to even the racecars themselves. Through all the changes however one thing has always stayed the same, the 18 car of Tim Johnston battling for a title. The North Carolina driver wrapped up his second POWER Series title this past October and looks to defend it when the series season kicks off in December.  If Johnston looks to repeat as the champion he’ll have to hold off the most talented group of drivers the series has ever seen. On top of the contenders list is no doubt Eddie Smith. Smith burst onto the scene last season and even though he only ran 15 of 20 races on the schedule, he was able to win a series leading 7 times en route to picking up Rookie of the Year honors. While newcomer Smith will pose the biggest threat to Johnston, Series regular Saif Faries will also be looking to add his name into the title mix once again. The Canadian driver struggled with DNFs last season but has showed in seasons past that his fast and sometimes fearless driving style makes him a constant threat when the checkered flag waves. While Johnston, Smith and Faries were no strangers to victory lane last year, three drivers who failed to win proved that with consistency they too are also title threats this year if victory lane can be found. David Boden used 14 top 10s to finish 3rd in the final standings just ahead of Johnston’s teammate and car owner John Hensley. Hensley himself picked up 15 top 10’s and used that consistency to grab his best career points finish of 4th. Finishing 2nd in points to Johnston last year was former series Rookie of the Year, Terry McCuin. McCuin will step into his role as the newest full-time driver at Hensley Motorsports giving Johnston two teammates who look to compete with him for the title this season. Also added into the mix this season will be Series rookie Sandeep Banerjee, a former competitor in the NASCAR iRacing.com World Championship Series. If full season sponsorship can be found, the International driver will be a title threat come the series finale at Rockingham. Like Banerjee, two-time POWER Series champion Toby Jenkins and 6-time POWER Series race winner Josh Williams could also make the title hunt very competitive if full-time rides are found in the series this season. With more than 18 past series race winners and 2 Two-time Champions expected to make starts this season, season 5 looks to be one of the hardest fought for titles the series has ever seen.

The Sunshine State Weekend

THE SUNSHINE STATE WEEKEND

The ISRA Power Series kicked off its third season this past Sunday with a trip to the sunshine state for races at Daytona Spuperspeedway and New Smyrna Speedway. 25 cars would hit the high banks of Daytona first for 40 laps of two car tandem drafting in the sun. Season 2 champion ,Toby Jenkins, wasted no time putting the series on notice by grabbing the openng race pole. Once the green flag dropped on the field, Jenkins quickly teamed up with series rookie Terry McCuin and set his sights on victory lane. Jenkins and McCuin would have to fight off the charges of Doug Heveron and his drafting partner Michael Shea early however. Heveron and Shea would eventually get around Jenkins and McCuin sending them back to fight off Michael Mill, Allen McEwen and Evan Ethell. The first caution of the race came out on lap 9, as Heveron would touch the apron in the tri-oval. As Heveron gained control of his car, Shea and Mill would go spinning behind him. On the restart, Jenkins and McCuin had no trouble pulling away from Heveron now as it would take a few laps for him to find a new drafting partner in Earl Latterell. At the halfway point of the race, the battle up front started to heat up with new players of Doug Sigmon and the four car team of Kingdom Motorsports flashing their horsepower.
