After two consistent mid-pack runs finishing with a straight car, the #85 Clarks race-car is ready to crack the top ten. The driver Robby Marhefka is optimistic about his chances, he said "We have really learned alot about the new tires and adjustments needed to make the car faster. In the few weeks we were of, we actually had to structurally change the build of the car to make it more accommodating to the new setups. These changes will mean we will not be looking to work around a tight condition we have been experiencing."

As Marhefka Motorsports hits the road this weekend there is added excitement in the air. Plans are to run the next four North series races and qualify for the championship series at years end. Team truck driver Rick Gates wants to get on the road, he says: "Getting to travel again is going to be fun, we have a good group of guys and girls who like to visit other track, we never have been much for staying at home. We have fun with being in the truck so many hours, we normally call the rock radio stations along the way and request The Clarks song's, when we get one on we all jam out."
