Andy Seuss Knows The Ups and Down of Florida Speedweeks:
2006 New Smyrna
Champion Goes Back South Looking to Win
HAMPSTEAD, NH (February 7, 2008) – Andy Seuss knows both
the ups and down of the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car
Racing at New Smyrna Speedway (FL). The 20-year-old
gathered national attention in 2006 by winning the
Modified championship as part of Florida Speedweeks.
“Two years ago, Speedweeks was really good to us. We came
out unscratched for the week and ended up winning the
championship. That was really special.”
But good times don’t always last. A Speedweeks in 2007, a
string of bad luck during the nine day vent took its toll
on the team, even forcing them to load up and return to
New Hampshire a few days early with a bent racecar.
“Last year was quite the opposite,” said Seuss. “Even
though we had a better team and I thought we had a better
chance of winning races last year, we had a tough week.
Luck didn’t go our way and we ended up in a few wrecks.”
Now, as the 2008 version of Speedweeks is set to kick off,
Seuss is ready to get back to his championship-winning
form – even though he is not counting on winning another
championship. This time, he is looking more for a victory
or two.
“We’re looking to turn that all around this year,” said
Seuss. “Winning the championship was really special to me,
but I also know that to do that a lot of things need to
happen a certain way. You can’t go down there expecting to
win a championship because you might be very disappointed
when you come back. It was a surprise when it happened the
first time and even now, it would be a surprise if it
happen again.
“By the same token, I know that we are capable of doing
it. But what I really want to do is to win a race. We have
been so close to that, so it’s our goal to win a race. It
would mean a lot because I’ve won the championship and
some critics have pointed out that I haven’t won a race.
So to win down there would mean a lot to me. Anytime that
you can win a Modified race, it is a great feeling.”
The World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing will take
place at New Smyrna starting on Friday, February 8th.
