WHAT WE KNOW: Vochaska has switched to a Clements power plant this offseason, which should compliment his MasterSbilt and Bloomquist cars nicely. The MasterSbilt will once again see the majority of the action with Vochaska tentatively committing to 90% of the Fairbury, IL schedule in 2013, a tow that will find him traveling a 400-mile round trip every Saturday night. His season will once again get kickstarted at Florence, KY's Spring 50, possibly Moler's opener the night before. He's added the Lucas Oil show at Hartford and the USA Nationals at Cedar Lake to his "must have" list for 2013.
WHERE HE'S GOOD: He seems solid on big tracks. That might be because I've seen him have a few good runs on Hartford, MI's monster half-mile, or it might be because he's got his program dialed in on tracks such as that. Alan's also sharp when it comes to car smarts, primarily because he (as he puts it) is the "shock guy, set-up guru, and maintenance man".
WHERE TO IMPROVE: Consistency. Vochaska will be the first to tell you that he'd like to have more top fives in his diet. That could be tough to do running against the stout weekly competition Fairbury has to offer, but taming that track will almost certainly up anyone's game.
DRIVER'S THOUGHTS: "A good friend once told me, 'Confidence is worth two tenths. Overconfidence puts you in the fence'."
I for one am glad that Alan and his family have committed to running Fairbury Speedway for 2013. They are great people and are a pleasure to have at the track. Look forward to seeing him continue to improve his finishes and get a win.
