A Podium In Pevely
SPEED MEDIA- For the first time in his young career, which is a frequently heard statement this season, Gio Scelzi competed at I-55 in Pevely, MO for the first time this season. The No. 18 team took advantage of the two day show and got comfortable on Friday night, making strides every time they hit the racing surface. Saturday night they had the confidence they needed to put together a solid night, but the team was met with a few hurdles to overcome. After Gio laid down an impressive qualifying lap, 2nd overall, he felt that something was wrong with his motor. Not taking any chances, the team went to work to put a new power-plant under the hood. From there on out it was smooth sailing. Gio would win his heat, run second in the dash and cross the finish line in 3rd. “I ran as hard as I could for 40 laps,” Scelzi said on chasing Sweet. “He just makes such good moves through traffic, he’s hard to keep up with. We were a third-place car and a third-place driver tonight. It’s honestly relieving though. We were good in qualifying, good in the heat, and good in the feature. Feels like forever since Ive been here on the podium at Volusia.” This was Gio's second top-three finish of the year with the World of Outlaws.
