Giovanni Scelzi Returns to Tulsa Shootout Aiming to Back Up Golden Driller

Inside Line Promotions – FRESNO, Calif. (Dec. 29, 2015) – Giovanni Scelzi has one mission this week at the biggest micro sprint race of the year.

“The only thing you come here to do is win,” he said. “That’s all I’m thinking about doing.”

Scelzi captured his first career Golden Driller during last year’s Speedway Motors Tulsa Shootout at Tulsa Expo Raceway in Tulsa, Okla., where the 31 st edition will run this Wednesday through Saturday. He will once again compete in both the winged and nonwing “A” class and Outlaw divisions.

Last year Scelzi led all 25 laps of the “A” class winged feature to garner the biggest win of his young career. He also placed sixth in the Outlaw winged class.

“It’s so hard to get yourself in position to win and then to execute to actually win,” he said. “There’s so many different variables to think about. You have to draw a good number and be on your game every time you’re on the track. If I can do my job we should be in contention to win. I feel comfortable with the package we have.”

Scelzi also earned a top-10 result in the winged “A” class and winged Outlaw main events in 2014, which was his first year in both divisions.
