Oswald to take over as JMS Track Manager

From Jessica Stutzman, Former Manager, Junction Motor Speedway:

This was very hard for me to write today.  

I am deciding to hand down my position as track manager of Junction Motor Speedway to Mandi Oswald as of yesterday Aug. 1, 2012. My plans were to announce this news at the track banquet, which I am still going to attend in January; but this time as a guest and not an employee.

I want to thank again, all of the drivers especially those who allowed me the opportunity to work with them every week to bring a great racing experience to the fans and guests of the beautiful facility south of York, Nebraska.

I currently live in Lincoln, Nebraska, therefore I will be attending more races around that area, not to mention some Iowa, South Dakota, and Kansas tracks just to visit with people and to watch racing for once (and not work).

I have grown up around racing thanks to my wonderful family, namely, Mike and Lori Goldfuss, my parents; my two brothers, Logan and Brandon Jessen, and their better halves, Kaylie McKenzie and Keisha Jessen. I encourage those who are interested to utilize my dad’s new racing business for shocks and springs.

If anyone has any questions they are more than welcome to call my number 402-469-9443 for information. I plan on marketing his new business to those in the Midwest region- free of charge, I am sure somewhere along the lines my dad purchased some things for me growing up in Sutton, NE.

I also want everyone to continue supporting the local race tracks, especially Junction Motor Speedway. Thanks to Delmar Friesen, Jason Friesen, and the Entire Friesen and Nunnenkamp families for allowing me the opportunity of almost 4 seasons as Track Manager and 6 years of Scoring; this to me was a great career. One thing I haven’t pursued is racing itself. Thank you Chevy Hadan for the racing experience a few years ago at Eagle; you inspired me to want to run a car in the future.

Racing is a family sport; I encourage all drivers to never give up when times get tough, because the fans need family get-a-ways to the local dirt tracks and you all put on a “heck of a good show” for lack of better words. I wish everyone the best; my future also entails getting another degree through Peru State College; I may be a nerd, but one thing I do know is that I am a good friend and confidant to those around me. Thanks again and see everyone at the races!!
