Aside from the usual Sweet 16 birthday celebration Jessica Larsen of Babylon knows exactly what she wants to do for her benchmark birthday; go stock car racing at Riverhead Raceway! Jessica disclosed today that the game plan for her to jump from E.K.R.A. go-karts to the Blunderbust division would include a major sponsor for that effort.
    “I’d like to announce at this time that I’ve signed Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Long Island to our team as the primary sponsor” Jessica disclosed. Winner of three karting championships and 15 feature event victories in both E.K.R.A. and L.I. Inter-Club furthered, “This is an excellent opportunity for both myself and John Wellman from Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Long Island, I plan on being very active in promoting the efforts of this wonderful organization”.
    Jessica turns 16 on July 28th and her first stint behind the wheel of a Blunderbust stock car could come on Saturday July 29th.  Earlier on in the 2006 campaign Jessica and her parents/car owners Linda and Joe Larsen hope to race some at the Mountain Speedway in Pennsylvania where the minimum age to race is just 14-years old.
    In concluding Larsen also disclosed, “We also want to welcome aboard long time friend and former Islip/Riverhead Figure Eight driver Bill Stockert to our team who will serve in the capacity of Crew Chief”.
    The 2006 NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series will open on Saturday May 6th at Barbara and Jim Cromarty’s Riverhead Raceway and joining the Blunderbusts on the six division program will be the NASCAR Modified, Late Models, Figure Eights, Chargers and Super Pro Trucks.
