The Pro Trucks took center stage Friday night at Orlando SpeedWorld going for 50 laps in NASCAR Whelan All-American Series action joined by the Super Stocks, E-Modifieds and Strictly Stocks.

The ladies dominated Pro Truck qualifying with Becca Monopoli setting quick time over Whitney Poole. The pill draw saw the two reverse starting positions for the big feature race as Poole started from the pole with Monopoli on the outside of the front row. Monopoli snared the early lead while Gerald Campbell moved up to challenge Poole and made a pass for second on lap four. The race stayed green until John Hodge, subbing for Zach Curtis, spun off turn two on lap 21. On the restart, Campbell turned up the wick and led the 22nd lap only to see Monopoli back out front on the following lap. (more…)

Orlando SpeedWorld was back in action Friday night with some picture perfect weather as seven classes competed in NASCAR Whelan All-American Series action.
Daniel Keene slipped by early leader Ricky Moxley on lap 15 of the 25-lap Pro Late Model feature and went on to an easy victory slowed only by a lap 18 caution flag for a Zach Harris spin.  Keene set the pace to the checker with Moxley a strong second over Brock Oglesby, Harris and Steven Simpson. Keene also won the heat race.
Dave Gleason led the opening lap of the Legend Car feature only to be passed by Keith Sinkula and the second lap.  Sinkula’s time at the point was short-lived as heat winner Darin Coker grabbed the top spot on the third lap just before Gleason and Becca Monopoli tangled sending both strong-running cars to the rear of the field for the restart.  From that point, Coker and fellow South Florida driver Sinkula drove away from the field to finish one-two ahead of Mason Ketterman.  Gleason and Monopoli drove back through the field to finish fourth and fifth.  Rounding out the top ten were Tony Steinbuck, Paul Ingram, Ted Ruffo, Dallas Ingram and Roger Englund.  Coty Bibeau was unable to start due to a heat race crash.
