Kerr: We’re hitting form!
Redcar’s Lewi Kerr believes his Bears side are hitting form at just the right time ahead of Redcar’s trip to the Eddie Wright Raceway this Friday to face Scunthorpe, 17:00 start. The Kings Lynn man is enthused about the side’s recent results, “Last weekend was a good for us, we took Friday’s win against Berwick into Sunday which was another fantastic result.”
The testimonial man is also happy with his own form after a paid maximum for Kings Lynn on Monday, “I took my form for Redcar into Monday night and I was over the moon to take my Championship form into the Premiership. Hopefully that can continue into the Scunthorpe match!”
Kerr also believes the reserves can make the difference at the raceway, “Jason Edwards has been riding really well for us recently and he will be full of confidence. Also, Jordan (Jenkins) had a really good meeting for us at Newcastle so if the reserves are firing we can hopefully go there and pick up the win.”
The 2021 Silver Helmet winner is also enjoying racing in a strong top 3 line up for the Bears, “We always seem to do our jobs for the team and we have a nice rivalry. We all want to out perform each other and do as best we can but it is good to have that friendly rivalry within the side!”
The Bears are once again at full strength as they look to make it three SGB Championship wins on the bounce to solidify their current position in the top six.
On the other side of the pits, Scunthorpe track 2 guests in the shape of former Bear Justin Sedgemen and Connor Coles for the injured Ryan Kinsley. Sedgemen comes in for Tero Aarnio who failed to return to the UK for Scunthorpe’s last fixture after a longtrack meeting in Europe, the Finnish star has received a 14 day ban from racing.
With a new set of averages arriving this month, Jordan Palin drops to reserve for the Scorpions whilst Simon Lambert returns to the main body of the side after scoring paid 38 from his last 3 meetings for the Scorpions.
