Physical fitness helps Santerre driver improve

Sergio Pena said he spends a lot of time in a steam room.

And that has contributed to his two wins in the K & N Pro Series East for Revolution Racing which is part of the Drive for Diversity program in NASCAR.

He is tied with Brett Moffitt for most wins through the series’ first seven races.

He is sixth in points.

He won the VisitHamptonVA 175 last Saturday night. He had previously taken the checkered flag in the South Boston 150 in April. Both victories have come in his home state.

“[Sitting in a steam room] has helped me get used to the heat in the race car,” explained the 18-year-old Pena. “I used to drive open-wheel cars and you’d constantly get cool air. I wasn’t used to being in a race car that would get up to 130 to 140 degrees during a race.”

Cherryfield’s Andy Santerre, Revolution Racing’s Director of Competition, said Pena has improved “immensely” over last season when he finished 12th in points. He had three top-10 finishes but didn’t crack the top five.

“He has been doing an awesome job,” said Santerre. “The biggest reason behind his improvement is his physical fitness . He is in a lot better shape this year. In a couple of races last year, he fell out of the seat (exhausted) at the end of the race.

“This year, he looks like he could go another 100 laps,” added Santerre. “His physical conditioning is paying off.”

“I’ve been going to the gym and also sitting in the steam room every day,” said Pena.

Pena was a rookie in the series last season and admitted that he was “clueless.

“It was kind of a struggle. I was over my head. I tried to do more than I could,” said Pena. “This year, I’ve learned to calm down and the main thing is saving your tires. I used my stuff up last year so I’d have no tires left at the end of the race. I’ve been taking care of my tires better this year.

“I learned a lot last year and tried to carry it into this season,” added Pena.

Santerre pointed out that if it wasn’t for bad luck, Pena would be leading the points.

“He had a flat tire in one race, his motor overheated and he had to drop out of another race and he ran out of fuel with two laps to go in another,” said Santerre. “He has done an awesome job taking care of the car.

“And he is driving our only composite car. The body is made of fiberglass instead of steel. Not many people run them. They’re a little cheaper to run. They’re a lot easier to fix. It has saved us money this year,” said Santerre.
