NHRA: Kenny Koretsky Excited To Drive Again At Bristol

Mention Bristol Dragway to Kenny Koretsky and he shakes his head. “Man, we
should’ve won there last year,”he says.
He came as close as he ever has to winning a NHRA POWERade Series Pro Stock race a year ago with a stellar performance. A combination of terrific reaction times – plus good engine and chassis tune-ups – sent Koretsky to the finals against Jeg Coughlin. Koretsky’s fourth quick reaction proved to be two-thousandths of a second short of the coveted win light as Coughlin overtook him at the finish line.
Can he pull it off when the Thunder Valley Nationals unfold at Bristol Dragway this weekend?
“Anything is possible in Pro Stock,” Koretsky said. “We are excited to be going back to Bristol. That was a good race for us last year. Of course we’d like to get to the finals again . . . and get the win, you just never know. This class is about as tough as it has ever been. It’s an accomplishment to just make the starting lineup.”
Eddie Guarnaccia, crew chief on the Nitro Fish/Indicom Electric Pontiac GXP, will have a Sonny Leonard motor providing the horsepower.
“Sonny said the motor looks pretty good, so we’re going to give it a try,”
added Koretsky.
