Choquette Dominates Show at 5 Flags Results
It was a different car for driver Jeff Choquette, but the same result as he won both of the Allen Turner Pro Late Model Twin 50s on Friday night at Five Flags Speedway.
In June, the West Palm Beach driver won both Twin 50s driving a different car.
“It’s a different car, a different chassis, a different motor,” said Choquette. “It’s the second time I’ve raced it and we wanted to see how it would do here.”
It did just fine.
Choquette, returning this season after more than a year hiatus from racing, was the fastest qualifier for the first race and started eighth on the inverted start.
He worked his way to the front, going underneath leader Casey Roderick on lap 36 and taking the lead a half-lap later. Points leader Bret Holmes finished third.
That was the starting order for the second Twin 50s and it turned out to be the same finish.
Choquette led all 50 laps. The only threat was when he came upon some lapped cars, allowing Roderick to close in.
“A few of those lap cars, if they would have just stayed in their lane,” he said. “But Casey kept me really honest. We ran as hard as we could run smart.” (more…)
