Joel Jens Racing has a full schedule ahead of them. Competing in the World Karting Association Manufacturer's Cup, Florida Winter Tour and the Midwest Sprint Series, Jens will have a busy season on the track across the country.
Manitowoc Wisconsin’s Tony Kart driver Joel Jen’s went into the final round of the World Karting Associations Manufacturer’s Cup with 3 things on his mind. These being three National Championships that could be clinched at the New Castle Motorsports Park located east of Indianapolis Indiana. He was up to the challenge and overcame the obstacles along the way to be named champion in Komet Junior Light and Heavy as well as Yamaha Junior Heavy at the weekends end.
After having been out of the seat for almost a month and a half, I was itching to get back to racing. At the end of June I traveled to Norway Illinois for a Midwest Sprint Series race at Concept Haulers Speedway for the 2nd race of their season this year. After a fun day of testing and practicing, my mechanics had the karts set up to run very well for the weekend’s events. On Saturday I ran two classes, as I normally do on any weekend, these classes being Yamaha and Komet Junior classes. The classes are broken up by a light and heavy designation that runs either day. For Saturday I finished with a second in the Komet and a win in the Yamaha class. On Sunday the same classes ran and the results changed a little, I won the Komet and got a third in the Yamaha class after a good battle to the end.
