Victorian Formula 500 State Title Claimed By Jessica Moulden                                21-1-08

‘Miss’ Jessica Moulden continued her sensational form on Saturday night at Laang Speedway when she scored her third feature race victory of the 2007/08 season as she walked away with the Victorian  Formula  500 State Title.

So far this season it seems that there is no stopping the in-form Moulden, as she raced to the Victorian State Title victory, and in the process she became the very first female to claim a Formula 500 State Title win anywhere in Australia.

Heading into the feature race Moulden started from outside of the second row, and was able to take full advantage of the top three drivers when, current Australian Champion Ben McLeod, Wayne Moller and Steve Caunt, were forced out in controversial incidents without a lap completed in two separate incidents.

“There was plenty of action going on at the beginning of the feature race and I just did my best to not get involved, and this allowed me to move to the front row, and from there I managed to take an early lead and go on to take victory,” said a jubilant Moulden.

“Going into the Title I was aiming for a top five finish, but to walk away with the victory was something I wasn’t expecting, and with that said I’m totally stoked with the outcome.”

Moulden continued on by saying that this win is not only special to her and her family, but also to her engine builder Stephen Bell from Jettco Developments and car constructor Darren Mollenyoux from SWIFT.

“My new car and engine package for this season is all brand new and it’s wonderful to bring home the results for both Belly [Stephen Bell] and Molly [Darren Mollenyoux], as I owe a lot of my success this season to all their efforts,” she credited.

“I couldn’t be happier with my run so far this season, as everything has fallen into place, and the results are certainly gaining me a lot more respect, especially from my fellow rivals, as I’m not treated as just a novelty anymore.”

The third round of the Victorian Stampede Series is o be held on Saturday night, February 2 at Simpson Speedway where Moulden is shooting for a hat trick of wins in the series.
