Inside Line Promotions – MARION, Ill. (June 20, 2016) – Giovanni Scelzi is seeking his third consecutive victory in his family owned micro sprint this Friday when the team will venture to Plaza Park Raceway.

Scelzi, who picked up his first win of the season on April 30 at Delta Speedway in Stockton, Calif., was victorious during his most recent visit to the bullring in Visalia, Calif., on May 20 when he swept the night.

“We’ve been running well the last couple of times out in the family car so I’m looking forward to trying for three in a row,” he said. “I think our program is getting stronger and stronger.”

Scelzi is coming off a sour trip to the Highbanks Hustle last weekend when he drove for Kyle Anderson at the marquee event hosted by Southern Illinois Raceway.

“We fought engine issues throughout the practice night on Thursday and we think we had those turned around for Friday’s opener,” Scelzi said.

Scelzi powered from ninth to fourth place during a heat race on Friday before he was involved in a wild flip while running third in a qualifier. That ended the night early for the team, which elected not to return to action on Saturday.

“There were close to 120 cars there and we were off to a good start after the heat race,” Scelzi said. “I just hit a hole in turn one and went for a big ride.

“I want to thank Kyle and his family for the opportunity. I hope we get to work together again.”
