    NORWALK, Ohio (June 20) -- By all accounts, reigning Super Gas world champion Mia Tedesco is having another banner season. She's ranked second in the North Central region and eighth nationally in her CARS Vehicle Service Contracts/Schepel Motors/NGK/Lucas Oil Top Alcohol Dragster. She's also a lofty fourth in her CARS Vehicle Service Contracts/VP Racing Fuels Super Gas Chevrolet Cavalier in the Division 3 standings.

    The only thing missing on her 2017 resume is a victory, something she'd love to change this weekend with two chances to win at the 11th annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals.

    "We've been racing long enough to know that some weekends, some years, everything seems to just fall into place and go your way," Tedesco said. "Other times it's a struggle for everything. Then you have seasons like this year where you are running really well but the wins aren't happening for whatever reason.

    "All we do, all you can do, is keep racing. These things work out. We're always ready to win and we come to every race with all the pieces we need to win, we're just waiting for it to happen this year. I really don't spend a lot of time worrying about that stuff."

    Norwalk would be the perfect place for Tedesco to visit the winner's circle again. She won here as recently as 2015 in Top Alcohol Dragster (in rain delayed action from the Chicago regional event) and Summit Motorsports Park is the closest national track to her native Pittsburgh.

    "That win here was cool because it happened on July 4th and the Baders (track owners) always put on that huge fireworks display so it was a very memorable weekend," Tedesco said. "And definitely having this track so close to home -- it's only like two hours away -- brings over all our friends and family. It's a big party weekend and we have a great time in the pits.

    "We have a lot of confidence in both cars right now so we'll just keep after it and the wins will come. I do know you can screw your head up if you think about it too much. You really just need to keep to what's right in front of you and do your job every round."

    Tedesco Racing actually will have four cars in competition this weekend as longtime crew chief "Racin' Jason" Lynch will vie for the trophies in Super Comp and Top Sportsman.

    "Jason won a few weeks back so he's in the zone," Tedesco said. "Maybe we can double-up in Norwalk. That would be fun."
