Later on, she moved up to race at Seekonk in the Mini Cup division, where she saw some success. Now, she drives a Legends car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will be the first time O\u2019Leary will be driving a car this season, as a hand injury suffered in a crash at Monadnock last June sidelined her for the remainder of 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wrecked a Sportsman Modified at Monadnock,\u201d she said. \u201cShattered a bone in my hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The injury required surgery, and by the time her hand was healed, the season was over. Compounding the injury is the fact that the track O\u2019Leary planned to race at, Waterford, has not yet opened for the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve been racing at Waterford and Seekonk,\u201d she said. \u201cWe decided not to race at Seekonk this season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O\u2019Leary doesn\u2019t think that the lack of seat time so far in 2019 should hurt her all that much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think I\u2019ll be able to get back into the swing of things,\u201d O\u2019Leary said. \u201cJust gotta get back in the car and get used to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main goal for O\u2019Leary when she climbs into her car Sunday? To finish the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust coming off the hand surgery, I\u2019m looking forward to finishing the race and to doing good,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wait for the inaugural Bullring Bash Quarter Mile Challenge presented by RaceChoice event is almost over.
