Jesse Lowe Banks Pair of Weekend Podium Finishes
Runner-Up Performance in Spring Loaded 40

Crossville, Tennessee (04/08/19) – While he fell just short of visiting Victory Lane, Jesse Lowe still enjoyed a successful weekend in his Xtreme Pressure Washing #5j Gondolas Pizza and Steakhouse/ CVR Race Cars Late Model.

Jesse battled for the lead on Friday night at 411 Motor Speedway before slipping to a third-place finish following a late-race restart. On Saturday night he advanced to a runner-up finish in the United Championship Racing Alliance - UCRA event at I-75 Raceway.

“On Friday night I felt like we had the car to beat. Just as we were passing for the lead the caution came out, and I wasn't able to get a good run on him again,” Lowe stated. “On Saturday night we didn’t necessarily have the fastest car, but we bided our time and worked into a runner-up finish.

“Despite falling short of getting a win this weekend, this year has started out being one of the best years yet. Not just as a driver but also as a fan, it’s great to see racing in East Tennessee doing so well with record crowds. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every person who is making dirt track racing awesome.”

The weekend opened on Friday night at 411 Motor Speedway (Seymour, Tennessee), where Jesse hit the ground running by setting fast time over the field of 23 competitors in qualifying.

Via his qualifying performance, he locked into the pole position for the feature event. Lowe battled Welshan for the lead and briefly took the top spot before a caution nullified the pass. In the closing laps, Trevor Sise slipped past, relegating Jesse to a third-place finish.

Saturday night took the team to I-75 Raceway (Sweetwater, Tennessee), where a $2,500 winner’s check was on the line for the United Championship Racing Association (UCRA) competitors. With 26 entries on hand, Lowe raced to a runner-up finish behind race winner, Cory Hedge(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word). Trevor Sise, Michael Courtney and Rod Carroll completed the Top-5 finishers.

Via his performance on Saturday night, he took over possession of the UCRA point’s lead.
