INVERNESS, Fla. — Bobby Komisarski confirmed Wednesday that he will be participating in the Children’s Dream Fund 50 on March 2 at Citrus County Speedway.
The co-sanctioned event between the Must See Racing Sprint Series presented by Perfit-Parts and the BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series will pay the winner of the event $10,000. The event is aimed at bringing awareness to the Children’s Dream Fund Organization.
Komisarski, nicknamed the “Kamikaze” due to his hard-charging driving style, will be behind the wheel of the Vicki and Gene Fogle-owned White Hare Racing entry. The team will be making their first Florida appearance.
The Dayton, Ohio resident had a career year last year with Must See Racing. He found himself on the podium on two occasions. He was leading at Michigan’s Berlin Raceway until he surrendered the lead late in the race. At the series finale in Plymouth, Indiana, he was running second to Davey Hamilton Jr. before the rear end broke on the final lap. He ultimately finished sixth in that race.
“When I saw the announcement about the Children’s Dream Fund 50 I was excited,” Komisarski said. “Any reason to get out of the cold in Ohio is a good reason. I think both series coming together is great. There is already a stacked field if you look at the list of drivers entered. It’s gonna be great for the drivers and fans. I can’t wait to get down there.”
Komisarski is looking forward to competing at Citrus County for the first time.
“I’ve never been to Citrus County Speedway. I’ve been watching videos online,” Komisarski said. “I’m just trying to get a good idea of the track. We’re gonna try to make it down for the Friday practice. That should help us out a lot. That’s gonna be a big help. It looks like a great Saturday night bullring short track. I’m looking forward to it.
“It falls into our wheelhouse of nice little bullrings.”
When asked what he feels will be crucial in having a successful race, he pointed to qualifying.
“I think qualifying is gonna be the most important thing,” Komisarski said. “You’re gonna have to stay out of traffic and get clean air. White Hare Racing always brings me a great car. Every time I strap in, it’s ready to go. Qualifying is gonna be very important as far as how the race plays out. We got a lot better qualifying last year towards the end of the year. I’m excited to start the season off down there in Florida.”
