Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing Stay Hot With Three Straight Wingless Victories

Jackson sweeps Selinsgrove and Path Valley weekend; Williams Grove double duty up next

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing continued their recent hot streak in wingless competition over the weekend, picking up a pair of victories at Selinsgrove Speedway and Path Valley Speedway.

The double dose of victory lane makes it three consecutive wins for Jackson and Hess Racing, as the team also scored a victory the weekend prior during its lone night of competition at Path Valley.

“Our wingless program is so good right now that it seems like we’ve got a chance every time we hit the track,” said Jackson. “To win three in a row is a pretty special thing, and it just shows how hard the team has been working. I can’t thank Scott and the guys enough for the car they give me to race.”

Jackson kicked off the weekend at Selinsgrove Speedway, where he lined up fourth and charged his way to the front to score the victory. The team then headed to Path Valley Speedway, and Jackson once again proved to be a force in wingless competition.

Starting deep in the field from the ninth position, Jackson impressively carved his way through the pack and ultimately found his way to the front, completing the weekend sweep and extending the team’s winning streak to three.

 “About a month or so ago, we switched one of our older cars to be used for winged racing, as I was really comfortable in it and I wanted it for the Sportsman 100,” said Jackson. “So we rolled out a newer car for wingless racing, and we’ve just been chipping away at things, and it’s starting to show. The car just felt really good all weekend, and we’re reaping the rewards.”

Jackson and Scott Hess Racing will look to continue their recent string of consistency and speed this Friday at Williams Grove Speedway, where Jackson is slated for double-duty action. He will compete in both the winged and wingless Sportsman divisions as the team looks to add another strong showing to its recent run of success.

With three consecutive wingless victories already in hand, Jackson and Hess Racing will head to the Grove carrying plenty of momentum into the next challenge on their schedule.

“It’s a little late in the year to be playing catch-up, but I just feel like we haven’t gotten a chance to run nearly as many winged shows as we’d wanted to,” said Jackson.

“Whether it be Mother Nature or other conflicts, we’ve just been behind a bit in our winged program. We’ve got some time still to figure out the motor and car, but hopefully we can take some of the stuff from the wingless car and apply it to the winged car, and maybe next week we’ll be talking about two more wins.”
