4-12-14 – The Joey Coulter Fellows Truck Brokers Florida Pro-Truck Series was at Citrus County Speedway this past Saturday night for race #2 in the series. Becca Monopoli used her 3rd place starting spot and some hard early lap racing to grab second spot and chase leader Brent Huber until she made her move on lap 27 to take the lead. She would then hold off challenges from Cody McDuffie the final 24 laps to grab the win. Jessica Murphy would cross the line 3rd with Chad Chastain fighting back for a 4th place at the checkered. Brent Huber with a tight truck slid back to finish in the 5th spot.
Later in tech the second place truck of Cody McDuffie failed a compression check and was a DQ, moving Jessica Murphy to second, Chastain to third, Huber fourth and young Cole Partelo would finish fifth. The next race for the series will be Saturday night May 3rd at Auburndale Speedway. Chad Chastain leads the points but it is very close as you can see in the points below. Special thanks to Curry’s Roofing & Florida Suncoast Unclaimed Freight Sales for putting up $400 in bonus money at Citrus County Speedway.
