Story By: EMILY WINSLOW / PA SPRINT SPEEDWEEK – MECHANICSBURG, PA – Sixteen days after taking a nasty ride at Bridgeport Speedway, Justin Peck was back behind the wheel at Lincoln Speedway.
Peck will pick-up Ohio SpeedWeek on Tuesday and then return to Pennsylvania with plans to run the entire PA Sprint SpeedWeek.
Last year, Peck finished second in the final SpeedWeek point standings, “I feel like we put in a good week last year but Brent won five races. It’s tough to beat a guy that wins half the shows and it seems like he ran second in the other half.”
Since teaming up with Buch Motorsports Peck has been a staple at PA Sprint SpeedWeek and scored his first and only SpeedWeek victory in 2021 at Lincoln, “This will be my third consecutive PA SpeedWeek with the same guys. I feel like we’ve been pretty good all three years, we won a race the first year, we did not win a race last year, but we had a couple of podiums and a couple of top fives ended up second in the points.” The night Peck won at Lincoln, both Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell were in the field.
Peck and the Buch Team are no strangers to Pennsylvania, “I’m feeling pretty confident. I love Pennsylvania and my guys are from PA and we’re based here so we have a lot of good support. This is something I look forward to.” Peck will look to capture the $6,000 bonus as the high point man for the ten race series. This year’s $30,000 point fund is sponsored by C&D Rigging, Grantville, PA. C&D Rigging is the leader in millwrighting and mechanical erection of machinery and heavy equipment since 2013. This will be the largest total point fund ever offered for the Speed Week series with a point fund bonus posted for fifteen positions in final points.
