EAST MONTPELIER, Vt. – It’s been 2 long months since Emily Packard had her car out on a race track, and she cannot wait to hit the track this weekend. The team has spent the last couple of months working on fine tuning from what was learned during Florida Speed Weeks in February. “New Smyrna was a great opportunity for us to shake down the car and find any issues that we needed to work out prior to the first points race of the season,” said Packard. “We found a couple small things that we were able to fix over the last few weeks, and the car is ready to go this weekend.”
Packard and the team are focusing on running the American Canadian Tour full time this year, and not running a weekly series at a specific track, allowing for the team to really focus on preparing the cars for each individual race track. “I am thrilled to be running the American Canadian Tour again this season, with the anticipation of going to new tracks as well as returning to tracks that we race at last year,” said Packard, “Concentrating on the ACT Tour will allow us to set up the car just once a weekend, and really give us the chance to dial it in during practice.”
