Jeremy Frankoski & Bertrand Motorsports Headed to the Boston Louie Memorial
Suffield, CT – The call that Jeremy Frankoski was looking for came only two weeks after his recent departure from TSR Motorsports. Frankoski will be headed to the year’s biggest race, the Boston Louie Seymour Memorial, as a teammate alongside current point’s leader Randy Cabral in a Bertrand Motorsports entry.
“Things worked out well, and just at the right time. I really appreciate the opportunity to be in a top ride, with a great team for such a special race,” stated Frankoski.
Frankoski will pilot the same car that “Liquid” Lou Cicconi drove to three victories for the Bertrand team last season, two of those coming at Seekonk Speedway – the site of this year’s Boston Louie. By Seekonk Speedway calculations, Cicconi recorded some of the fastest laps at the track last season in this same mount running in the 11.0/11.1 range in his September 15th win.
No stranger to the fast way around Seekonk, Frankoski turned an 11.06 en route to a second place finish on October 7th with last year’s Power Point team. For the Boston Louie, the Bertrand midget will sport a new Esslinger power plant.
“Randy, myself and the team talked it over. We really wanted to get our spare car and engine together, tested and on the track. To be able to give Jeremy a shot to race and also be able to help our team out seems like a win/win for everyone,” stated team owner Tim Bertrand. “We’ll go out, have some fun and hopefully be able to give Jeremy a shot at a couple of good runs,” continued Bertrand.
The Bertrand #47B will also proudly display sponsorship from MJ Motorsports as well as Atlantic Coast Trailer Sales.
“Without the help of our sponsors, we would not be able to field a second car. Their help is incredibly appreciated,” stated Bertrand. Frankoski also commented, “The people within NEMA, the same people I compete against, have been really supportive over the last two weeks. It’s a great bunch of people to be racing
with!”
Before last Saturday night’s race at Waterford Speedbowl, Frankoski still sat solidly inside the top ten in driver’s points. He hopes to secure enough driving time for the remainder of the season to continue his quest for a top ten finish in the year-end championship standings.
Jeremy Frankoski exploded onto the NEMA scene last year when he won his first race as a rookie at Beech Ridge in the Marine Engines sponsored #99. He also finished 3rd at Stafford and 2nd at Seekonk. Jeremy was ultimately honored as the 2007 Ed Clothier Rookie of the Year during the NEMA Awards Banquet.
