Pro Trucks

Nick Hernandez once again showed his dominance in the DeSoto Pro Trucks as for the second week in a row he came from the back of the pack for the second week in a row to claim the win.

Racing heated up through out the field. Dave Davis and Bruce Bennett were battling for position and coming out of turn four the duo made contact. Davis made contact with the front stretch wall while Bennett had the from body panels flapping in the breeze.

Under the caution Bennett showed his displeasure with Davis by slamming into him, Davis returned the favor and both drivers were black flagged.

Henandez took the green and cruised to his second win in as many weeks. Dennis Colletti who has improved week after week finished second, third was Gerald Campbell, fourth across the stripe was Cheyenne Hammond and fifth went to Cory France.
