Orlando FL 2-10-15<\/span><\/b>\u00a0– The Joey Coulter Florida Pro-Truck Series will begin its\u00a0second season officially this Saturday night as part of the World Series at New Smyrna Speedway. A preliminary 25 Lap event is on the schedule for Friday night but it is not a series race, but a nice opportunity for driver to tune up.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0Its a month earlier than the season began for the series in 2014, and many drivers are still trying to get their trucks rebuilt and ready for the new season. There as also been a move up by a\u00a0couple drivers and some that can not compete full time in 2015 but will run selected events. There are a number of drivers who have responded and plan to be there this weekend including defending series\u00a0champion Becca Monopoli, veterans Danny Anderson and J.R. Garcia. Last seasons most improved driver Rodney Haddock along with his son Blake will be competing, as well as returning to action another strong lady driver Whitney Poole. Also indicating they will be there are Eddie King Jr., Kody Jett, \u00a0Eddie Lichtenberger Jr., David Patterson, Michael Goddard, Derek Pugh, Doug Elliott and Dean Butrum. There has been quite a few calls from the GA trucks and one driver from Charlotte NC planning the trip so we will see who shows for the big event.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span>\u00a0The Speed 51 coverage is a plus for the series as they open the season and the\u00a0series. Series owner Joey Coulter and series director Rick Bristol have hired exciting veteran announcer Ozzie Altman to\u00a0handle the announcing for the series race this weekend, he announces big events all over the south, long time announcer of a few dirt traveling series.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span>Pit gates will open Friday\u00a0morning at 8 a.m. \u00a0Practice begins in rotation at 1 p.m. The Pro-Truck preliminary 25 lap event is last on the card. Saturday again pits open at 8 a.m. practice rotating beginning at \u00a02 p.m. Qualifying will begin at 5:45 and the Joey Coulter Pro-Truck 50 will be first race after\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0intermission.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Racing for a Cause Inc. and the Joey Coulter Charity 200 Race Weekend are also sponsoring the series.
