DANNY King is determined to help Panthers put things right after his weekend of smashing individual success.
The Huntingdon racer made his mark on the international stage when successfully negotiating his World Championship quarter-final qualifying round at Lonigo, Italy on Saturday night.
King collected 10 points from five rides before coming home secon
d in an all-important run-off to seal his passage into next month's semi-finals.
But all the 21 year-old is concentrating on now is helping his club claim a much-needed Elite League win against Swindon at the Showground tonight (7.30pm start).
Panthers are bidding to erase the memory of a nightmare 51-39 drubbing at the hands of Lakeside in a KO Cup clash at Alwalton on Thursday.
King said: "Coming through the qualifier is up there at the top of the list of my best achievements.
"It was a really tough field and I'm thrilled to have qualified.
"But all that concerns me right now is putting in a good performance for Panthers and helping us get a win over Swindon.
"Everyone was disappointed with what happened on Thursday but there were reasons for that as the track was really slick.
"Hopefully that can be sorted and the riders can do their bit to put the points on the board.
"I hope there will be a good crowd. It is at times like this that we need the fans to get behind us and not get on our backs."
Panthers are currently seventh in the Elite League, level with Belle Vue who entertain Ipswich tonight.
