Jarett Andretti Living Up To Family Standard
Press Release“Young Racer Continues Winning Andretti Family Tradition”
The 18-year-old Andretti has had a winning spring and summer behind his No.11 Tracy Trotter-owned, Calico Coatings / Window World midget winning three times on the Eastern Ford Focus Series traveling tour. Andretti last won July 1 at Ace Speedway in Altmahaw (N.C.) keeping him perfect at the track this year with two feature wins. He also won earlier this year at the famed Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway. His record for the summer also includes two runner-up finishes on the Eastern tour along with multiple poles and heat race wins to help give him a 21-point lead in the national rankings.
“I’m not really thinking about my last name right now, but more about winning races,” said Jarett. “We’ve had a lot of success with this Calico Coatings/Window World Ford Focus Midget on the Eastern Series winning heat races, poles and features. That’s been great. We’ve also been doing some events on the Midwest Series at tracks like the Speedrome where my father won a championship. I’m just trying to get as much track time as possible, learn and hopefully the points will play out in our favor at the end of the year.”
Jarett will next compete July 12 at the Bryant Heating and Cooling Indianapolis (Ind.) Speedrome in a Midwest Series event. He will also continue the Eastern Series tour on July 24 at the Concord (N.C.) Motorsports Park. Andretti is still looking for a corporate sponsor to compete in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Series and the NASCAR Pro Series East later this season and into 2012.
