The team then stopped by to support an Orlando Race Car Show and Food Drive to benefit the 2nd Harvest Food Bank on November 6th before competing at New Smyrna that night where they had the worst finish of the season.

Morales drove a great race at the Orlando Speedworld starting 6th and then finishing a challenging second at the checkers. This helped add to a slim points lead in Fastruck.

Saturday the 6th the entire team Cheetah race team brought their team to support a Race Car show and food drive in Orlando and donated several boxes of food. The team then proceeded to New Smyrna Speedway for a 50 Lap FASTRUCK series race,

Morales would have to start from 19th starting spot as the second place car at the previous event. Morales used patience early to move up to eleventh by lap 29. That is when the first caution flew. On the restart Morales tried hard to gain some spots and made it to 9th. During one of those stints some contact was made with another truck and later a broken radiator would cost Morales and he would finish back in the running order.

" This is the worst finish we had all season, we can't be all that upset over it. Things happen and we have been pretty fortunate all season. We will regroup for Ocala next week" said Morales.

" We want to thank the PCS race team for there help this past weekend, they helped us out a bunch" said owners Damaris and Arnold Diaz.
