Sharpe Ready to Get Back to Action after Break in Schedule

Concord, NC 5/10/07- After a two-week hiatus from behind the wheel, the South Carolina native will return to the Concord Motorsport Park looking for his first top-5 finish of the season. Sharpe has not had the start that he anticipated for his return to the Concord Motorsport Park to defend his 2005 track championship and hopes to improve.

 

After four starts Sharpe sits in sixth position in the points standings and has managed only to muster a season-best seventh place finish which occurred opening night. When asked how this would affect his run at the title, Sharpe remains positive. “Well it has been a bit of a disappointment to finish where we have but I am hoping to turn things around this weekend. We have had a couple weeks off to go over the car and work out some of the bugs. The biggest thing I have got to keep in my mind is that this is a brand new FNO racecar from the ground up and I have to be patient and let the car come to me. I am pretty confident we can start pulling out some top-fives pretty soon,” stated Sharpe.

 

As Sharpe looks to prepare to get back on track he knows that consistency is essential to his success.  The Travis Sharpe Motorsports team will run seven out of the next eight weeks in a row. “I think this will be a stretch that will separate the contenders and real racers from the rest. Having a few weeks in between races has helped us out for sure but we realize we have to be ready to go wide open now. Consistency is going to be key over this stretch and I think if we can get at least four top-5 finishes and be running at the end of every race I feel like that will put us in a good position, “ said Sharpe.
