With some minor damage on the car, the team had little work to get the car ready to run. Presently 11th in the point standings at Thunder Road Packard is only one point back from 10th place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll we are looking to do is improve during the 50 lap feature this week,\u201d Packard said. Racing starts Thursday night at 6:30 for the Harvest Equipment Night.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Emily and her 9x Northstar Fireworks\/Packard Fuels team head to Devil\u2019s Bowl for the rescheduled Spring Green 114 American Canadian Tour race. Coming off her career best start in the ACT series, Packard was also the first woman to land the pole since the introduction of the ACT\u2019s +\/- system; and she hopes to carry her confidence into this race. \u201cOur performance last week gives us a little more confidence as a team going into Devil\u2019s Bowl,\u201d said Packard. \u201cNeal and the guys have been giving me really good cars, but I don\u2019t want to be over confident as anything can happen at any given time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Having run the past few weeks at Devil\u2019s Bowl one would think that Packard might benefit more knowing the track, but she seemed humbled by the question. \u201cI think I might have a little advantage because I have raced here the last few weeks,\u201d said Packard. \u201cHowever, you can never count out any one of the tour guys and their talent.\u201d Packard has raced at Devil\u2019s Bowl three times this season and has won two heat races, and has finished in the top-five in all three feature races there. \u201cThe success that I have had there will not be my main focus, but is really about the success of the season. We want to continue having good runs and learning as both a driver and the team and win some races.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Packard and the 9x Northstar Fireworks\/Packard Fuels team will set out to qualify for the Spring Green 114 on Sunday June 16th, with post time at 1:30 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Remember if you can\u2019t get out to the track, follow Emily on social media, and we will keep you updated.<\/p>\n<p>SOCIAL MEDIA<\/p>\n<p>Emily Packard on Facebook: http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EmilyPackardMotorsports<br \/>\nEmily Packard on Twitter: @EmilyPackard9<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up Next: Thunder Road Weekly and Devil\u2019s Bowl Spring Green 114 ACT Race &nbsp; EAST MONTPELIER, Vt. \u2013 After a rough feature race at Thunder Road last week, Packard proceeds into this week with a positive attitude. \u201cWe are hoping for better things this week at Thunder Road,\u201d said Packard.
