The first back-to-back races of NHRA’s POWERade Series season unfold over the next two weekends, and Pro Stock driver Kenny Koretsky is a happy man.
“I like back-to-back races,” he said. “I think they keep me fresh. There’s definitely not much waiting around (between races).”
The first stop for Koretsky, driver of Greg Hill’s Indicom Electric/Nitro Fish Chevy Cobalt, is Atlanta Dragway for the Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals (April 27-29). Next up, May 4-6, is the O’Reilly Midwest Nationals near St. Louis.
“I’m looking for good performances from my car and from my teammate Bill Windham’s Chevy Cobalt. (Engine builder) Steve Schmidt took the motors to his shop and tuned them up. We want to go to Atlanta and do the best we can for Mr. and Mrs. Hill.
“Eddie (Guarnaccia, team crew chief) was in St. Louis working with Bill during testing earlier this week and he picked up some new ideas on how we can improve our performance. We’d like to qualify in the top half of the field and get lane choice. Then maybe we can put a few round wins together. Atlanta would be a great place to do that.”
In a bit of business news, Koretsky said he expects to introduce the team’s new associate sponsor “in the next couple weeks. We’re in the process of working out all the details. In the meantime, I’m eager to get in the car and drop the throttle.”
His first opportunity is Friday’s 3:30 p.m. Pro Stock qualifying session. Another is on the docket at 6:30 p.m. and there are two more Saturday (12:30 and 3:30 p.m.). Sunday’s eliminations get underway at 11 a.m.
