ENGINEERING STUDENT SHOWS IMPROVEMENT AT OLD DOMINION SPEEDWAY

Joe Bisson is running stronger this season in Legends at Old Dominion Speedway. The 22-year-old King George driver is 10th in points, despite missing four races. And he's taken home three top fives and five top 10s and led some impressive laps.

"I've been pretty happy with racing this year, considering that I didn't spend much money in the off-season and didn't change anything on the car and was able to come out and run more competitively," Bisson said.

Bisson, who is studying engineering with a specialization in motorsports at Old Dominion University, likes the challenge of racing. He loves coming to ODS on Saturdays and trying to improve.

Bisson has shown improvement by coming close to winning several times. In early June, he led 20 laps before losing the point to Ryan Polenz with five-to-go and then getting together with another car on the restart, winding up 14th.

"It was great to know that I had a car capable of winning, even though the race didn't turn out the way I wanted," he said. "But it was very good knowing I could run up front and that I just have to put the pieces together to do better."
