Jenison, Michigan (May 29, 2014) – Ross Kenseth is hoping that the extra seat time at
the tricky 7/16s (0.437) mile semi-banked paved oval of Berlin Raceway back on May 17th
will pay big dividends. The next race on the ARCA/CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS
schedule is the first of two appearances at the track located west of Grand Rapids in
Marne, Michigan.
The Berlin 125 Presented by AutoWorldFinancial.com is not only the first event within the
$10,000 Boyne Machine Michigan Challenge Series, but it also serves as the only tune-
up for the second race of the year for the ARCA/CRA Super Series at the West Michigan
oval. The Battle at Berlin 251 on July 18-19th is also the second race within the
prestigious $100,000 JEGS Triple Crown Series.
"I'm excited to get back to Berlin, we have a pretty good baseline after racing there a
couple of weeks ago," The now Jenison, Michigan resident stated. "Being on a different
tire with CRA might change things a little bit, but we ran better than what I usually do
there so if we can improve off of that, it should be a lot of fun on Saturday night. The
recently turned 21 year old (On May 25th) added.
In Kenseth's last race; Border Wars II - Calypso Lemonade 150 on Memorial Day Monday, May 26th at Illiana Motor Speedway, located south of Chicago, Illinois in Schererville, Indiana. The Chicagoland area facility hosted the second and final combination race between the ARCA/CRA Super Series and ARCA Midwest Tour. After qualifying sixth fastest out of the 27-car field, he would occupy the same spot at the end of the race after starting 11th due to his finish in the ARCA Midwest Tour Fast Dash.
"We had a pretty good piece on Monday, the track got really greasy and slick throughout the race and we lost grip a little bit earlier than the leaders did." Continued the driver originally from Little Chute, Wisconsin. "It was good to have another solid run, everyone worked really hard all weekend and we made a lot of gains on the car at the break. Would have liked a better finish but I feel like we are close to getting a win here soon." The son of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star and 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion, Matt Kenseth added.
In three ARCA/CRA Super Series races so far in 2014, Kenseth hasn't finished worse than sixth and has two top five finishes. His season high is a third back on April 26th at Anderson Speedway. Going into Berlin, Kenseth actually closed the gap on point's leader, Brian Campbell who had problems at Illiana. Kenseth went from just 13 markers back of Campbell to just five points back of the points lead.
