“Miller Motorsports Park is a new track and one where I have never been which makes it just that much more exciting for me, ” said Mishael Abbott. “It is a challenging track but I have spent many hours watching in-car film and talking to my teammate and drivers such as Tomas Enge about the track. I hope this week at Miller (Motorsports Park) will be a turn around for us from Sebring and I can make a strong appearance on the podium. ”
Mishael Abbott has teamed with B-K Motorsports and continues her association with Mazda. Her Lites 1 car #63 is powered by a Mazda MP2 2.3 liter engine supplied and sealed by Elan Power Products. Her teammate, Gerardo Bonilla, is coming off two wins at the opening races at Sebring. Both drivers are looking to be on the podium together at Miller Motorsports Park.
“After the success the B-K Motorsports team had at Sebring, I am even more excited about going to Miller Motorsports Park, ” said Mishael.
“We learned a bit about the car last weekend at Blackhawk Farms and now we have a more defined direction to go at Miller Motorsports Park, ” said Steve Levinsohn, B-K Motorsports Lites Team Manager. “It was good getting Mishael a fair amount of seat time (at Blackhawk Farms). We are looking for some good results in Utah. ”
