TSR Taps NEMA Rookie of the Year Jeremy Frankoski for 2008 Driving Duties
Jon Seaman Jr. Concentrates on Engineering Studies
Southbury, CT — While Jon Seaman Jr. devotes time to his Mechanical Engineering studies at Rochester Institute of Technology, TSR Motorsports has named 2007 NEMA Rookie of the Year Jeremy Frankoski to fill the driver’s seat of the No. 63 Midget for the 2008 season.
“TSR Motorsports feels very fortunate to have Jeremy on their team for the upcoming 2008 season,” commented team principal Jon Seaman Sr. “His focus and determination will blend well with the young but experienced crew Jon Jr and TSR Motorsports have built.”
Frankoski started racing at age nine in five-hp ‘microd’ karts, and has since methodically worked his way up to the top ranks of open wheel racing. He has many wins and podium finishes already and TSR Motorsports would like to give him a few more while Jeremy climbs his way to the top tier of professional auto racing.
The first race on Jeremy’s schedule is the ‘Ice Breaker’ at Thompson, Conn., the initial race on the NEMA midget calendar for 2008.
The eventual teaming of Seaman Jr and Frankoski promises to become one of the outstanding young teams in NEMA competition for the 2008 season and beyond with both young racers building off the other’s strengths.
Seaman is being helped in his career by training from Future Stars in Racing Academy. The Academy helps prepare young drivers for success outside the car in public speaking; sponsor presentations; working with the media and behavior on and off the track. Future Stars in Racing is the exclusive driver development partner with the ASA Late Model Series. The Academy features a staff with decades of experience in all aspects of motorsports.
