Column By: CODY MANMILLER / SHORT TRACK SUPER SERIES – PORT ROYAL, PA – Sunday afternoon, Mike Gular had to settle for second in the Short Track Super Series Sprint Speed Showcase.
“I was pretty good tonight,” he said on the homestretch. “The track was great, racy as always; all in all, it was a good run, my best run here. I love racing here and I can’t wait to come back in October.”
Gular really came to life when he moved off the bottom and into the middle after dropping to third.
“When you’re up front, I wasn’t sure where to go,” he said. “When those guys passed me, I knew I had to do something.”
Maresca rounded out the podium from the 12th starting spot.
“I’m really happy,” he said of his run. “I’ve had a lot of good runs here, but was never able to seal the deal. This is a great place to start the season here in the Northeast.
“They (Godown and Gular) had me covered tonight; we dug ourselves a hole in the heat and, because of that, I second guessed myself tonight, but that’s easy to fix on the notebook,” Maresca commented.
