NEW ENGLAND TRUCK SERIES GOES GREEN TO CHECKERED AT
WATERFORD’S BUDWEISER BLAST OFF
Corey Coates of Ledyard, CT takes the first win of the season in the New England Truck Series 25 lap feature race
this past Saturday night at Waterford Speedbowl. Coates started on the pole but lost the lead on lap one to the #88 of Roger Turbush. On lap three he regained the lead with a great move in turn 1 and lead from there on. According to Coates halfway thru the race his motor started breaking up and he didn’t think he would make it thru the whole event. The #88
of Turbush held on to second place until lap 23 when the hard charging # 2 of Duane Noll swept underneath him to steal the spot. Vinny Esposito of the #11 followed him to make up the top three. The #88 of Roger Turbush finished in fourth followed by the #21 of Jason Lafayette rounding out the top 5.
