Jesi Stracham finished 3rd in the
GBC Heartland Challenge |
Stracham, who is paralyzed from the waist
down, ran the special event to stay in shape
for her full-time effort in the GNCC series.
She was pleased to finish on the podium in
the competitive endurance race.
“This is really practice for me for GNCC
because I’m still in the championship over
there,” said Stracham. “I was really bummed
after losing the belt. I had belt problems
from the start. My check engine light came
on early. When the belt came off, I thought
the car was on fire, which was a scary moment.
I pitted, got a new belt and I kept going.
“As long as I finished and I’m healthy, that’s
all the counts,” concluded Stracham.
Stracham will be back in action after the
GNCC summer break October 1-2 at Powerline
Park in St. Clairsville, OH.
