Sam Reakes IV Scores Top Five Finish in Empire Super Sprint Season Opener at Can Am Motorsports Park

The 2013 racing season got underway this past Friday night for Sam Reakes IV as they traveled to Chapman’s Can Am Motorsports Park. Optimism was high in the Reakes camp, returning to Can Am as the defending race winner, capturing the checkered flag in April of 2012 with just a handful of starts in a Sprint Car under his belt.

Reakes finished third in his qualifying heat race, and made the redraw for a top 12 starting spot in the A-main. He drew position number three, and lined up inside row two. Multiple cautions slowed the pace early on, but when the race finally go going, Reakes maintained a top five position throughout the 25 lap race, and crossed the finish line in fifth place.

“It was a good run for us. Great way to start the season”, says Reakes. “I really like coming to Can Am, it is a big, fast track and we do really well here”.

Next on the schedule for Reakes will be this coming Friday night at Black Rock Speedway with the Patriot Sprints.
