York and Radisic Repeat Top-15 Result at Iowa Speedway
Kevin York once again paired with Marko Radisic for a respectable KONI Challenge Series finish of fifteenth in the ST class at Iowa Speedway last weekend.
Driving - for the final time of a temporary three-race deal- the Fountain Motorsports/Next Gen BMW 330i, Kevin qualified the reluctantly-handling car in the early Sunday morning qualifying session.
At the start of the race Kevin kept pace with the KONI field of both GS and ST classed cars as they sorted themselves out.
He engaged in a spirited battle with the "Queen of the 'Ring", Sabine Schmitz as she attempted to come to grips with the short-track length of Iowa Speedway's 1.3 mile "roval" road course.
After suffering an overheating engine - requiring Kevin to slow the pace - and a right front tire that was cut down due to track debris, a yellow caution period at approximately the one-hour mark allowed the team to call in Kevin for a fuel stop and driver change.
Marko continued in the race and ran a conservative and consistent pace to the race's conclusion.
Next up - this very weekend! - is the next KONI Series' race in Quebec Canada's Trois-Rivieres.
There, Kevin will rejoin his regular team, Compass360 Racing and be racing an Acura RSX!
