PSL KARTING RETURNS TO AMERICA FOR STARS EASTERN FINALE 

Canadian team gears up for Stars of Karting division championship finale in Wisconsin 

Montreal-based PSL Karting is due to make their return to the United States after nearly a month long layover from the Snap-on Stars of Karting Presented by IndyCar Series. Over the past five weeks, the squad’s drivers have spent hours aboard their CRG machines  while PSL staff has been analyzing all the data they have collected in preaparation for the Eastern Division finale this weekend at USA International Raceway in Shawano, WI. 

PSL will have a nine pilots in Wisconsin, all looking to stand on top of the podium come Sunday.  Lead ICC driver Fritz Leesmann(pictured) will have  the best shot at the Eastern Division championship crown, the Kohilo Racing-supported driver currently sits third in the Eastern standings, just 43 points behind the leader with this weekend’s two finals both counting in the championship. As unpredictable as the ICC division has been, a strong weekend from the reigning Florida Winter Tour champion could put him and PSL on top of the standings by the end of weekend.

Joining the Californian in the ICC category will be Josh Schreiber and Tom Cadieux, both of whom recently moved into the top-20 in the eKartingNews.com ICC Driver Rankings.  ICC rookie Jacob Neal (by way of PCH Motorsports) showed well with PSL at the Mazda Race of the Americas in Indiana last month and is focused on continuing that momentum.

Moving from the ICC division to the new TaG ICC category will be Corey Rossman. The Floridian is gaining experience in his first year on the national scene and will hope to bring in a top-five run in the lone PSL entry in the spec shifter class.

Making a comeback to PSL Karting for this event will be Canadian Max Riddle in the TaG class. The True North Motorsports driver has run the TaG ICC category with another so far this year but will return to the CRG chassis in Stars TaG, where he finished 16th in the 2007. Joining Riddle will be Mexican Rudy Camarillo, making his first Stars of Karting start after successful runs in the competitive Rotax Senior division at the Florida Winter Tour. 

Two drivers will fly the PSL colors in the JICA division this weekend with Tommy Beshro and Jordan Jadallah at the wheel. Beshro has shown that he has the speed capable of running with the front group, however, he has been plagued with issues that have regularly dropping him back in the field. This weekend, he will look to bring good luck with him to boost him into the top-10 of the standings. Jadallah, supported by Kohilo Racing, will make the long journey from California as the first-year Stars pilot and JICA rookie will look to gain more experience at the Eastern finale.
