Race car driver Alex Lacognata of Scarbrough, ME. Is teaming up with Naughty Racing this season to compete in the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Sportsman.
Though the 1st race of the PASS Sportsman series is almost here Alex has kept busy during the off season. “This off season has probably been the busiest winter of my life. We had to prepare the car for two shows, as well as setting it up for the upcoming season. On top of that, I’ve been wrapping up my High School career as I am still a senior and I’ll be graduating from Scarborough High this June. I’ve also been preparing for the upcoming baseball season, while working 15-20 hours a week delivering pizza at Portland Pie Company.”

After a few years of hard work and determination Ms. King is now the 2013 RKS Sportsman Champion, “It’s almost unexplainable! Considering last year I had finished 7th, and now being the champion. I’m glad the work my Dad and I put into the kart during the off season showed this season.”
Though Kayla has taken the checkered flag a number of time this season there is one in particular that means a lot to her, “I would have to say the Mid-summer, Shootout, not only because it was my first win, but the fact that the race was really close and I needed to really think about every move I made, especially the last one giving me the win coming out of turn four on the outside. It was truly something amazing, almost unexplainable! It was not only my first win of the season but my first win at the track, and after that win, many more followed.”
