Randel King had a good outing last Saturday night driving the Position-One Motorsports, King Taco Restaurants # 30 Chevy Monte Carlo. Starting on the front row, Randel drove a steady race. He survived a late race shootout between all the teenagers and was actually running 2nd before being edged out by Ryan Reed as the two waged a fierce battle heading to the checkered. Randel ended up finishing in the 3rd place position. After the fifth race of the year Randel is tied for third place in the Pepsi Super Late Model championship points chase, a mere 10 points out of first. With fifteen races left on the schedule don’t count this young talent out.
In the Langer’s S2 Series, the #03 Position-One entry was driven by Bobby Kelly. Bobby qualified the car in 5th and drove it to a 2nd place finish. Bobby is an accomplished Position-One Motorsports karting team driver that has brought them over 30 karting victories. This was his second start in the S2 and it netted him a great finish. Stepping up from karting into the S2 proves that this is the obvious "next step" for serious young racers anywhere.
ABOUT POSITION-ONE: car resume Since its inception back in 2002, Position One Motorsports began the long and arduous task of establishing a strong reputation in the motorsports world. Beginning with go-kart competition, Position One began building its foundation and soon thereafter other competitors began seeing glimpses of what the organization was to become. After getting its feet wet in 2002, the team began winning races in 2003 and 2004 in spectacularly dominating fashion. At the conclusion of the 2004 season, driven by the continuous desire to challenge itself and the relentless passion to win, team principle Luis Martinez Sr decided to switch kart chassis, one week prior to the California State Championships. Though it was risky, the change worked and the team went on to win 2 State Championships. In 2005, the team continued its dominance when it won 2 more State Championships. The move solidified the teams’ decision on a new chassis of choice for the future.
In 2008, Position One Motorsports did a 180° and entered the Whelen All American NASCAR Weekly Racing Series at Southern California’s Toyota Speedway at Irwindale, with Luis Martinez Jr. driving the #03 KING TACO powered Chevrolet. The result at the end of the season was a very respectable ninth place in the Championship standings out of 60 competitors. Martinez also entered a couple races in the NASCAR Camping World West Series which expanded his stock car resume. 2009 saw Martinez continue competing in the Whelen All American NASCAR Weekly Racing Series at the Toyota Speedway at Irwindale. Also driving for Position-One Motorsports was Mackena Bell, in the #30 Drive for Diversity NGK Chevy Super Late Model. Both Martinez and Bell finished the season strong with one win and a few podiums between both drivers. Putting all the factors into play it appears that Position-One Motorsports has been and will continue to be a force to be reckoned with.
