Posted by Wayne G. Barber

15 Truck field with No Roger Turbush. In the 20-lap Mr. Rooter Truck Series feature, Frank Dumicich, Sr. took the lead at the green flag with Gerard Giordano, Jr. and Frank Dumicich, Jr. side by side for second.  Andy Lindeman was fourth and Allen Coates was fifth.  Dumicich, Jr. got by Giordano on lap-3 to move into second and Lindeman followed him through to take over third and drop Giordano back to fourth.  Eric Finkbein, Jr. spun in turn 3 to bring the caution out with 5 laps complete.
Dumicich, Jr. got a good run on the outside of Dumicich, Sr. to take over the lead on the restart.  Dumicich, Jr. immediately began to pull away while Lindeman was applying heavy pressure to Dumicich, Sr. for second.  Dave Koenig brought the caution back out with 7 laps complete with a spin in turn 3.
The field completed one lap before the caution came out for Brendan Shea, who came to a stop on the backstretch and Lindman took a spin through the frontstretch grass but he was able to get his fourth place back for the restart as he spun after the caution flag had been displayed for Shea.
Dumicich, Jr. took the lead with Dumicich, Sr. moving into second on the restart.  Lindeman and Giordano were side by side for third and one lap later Lindeman went 3-wide with Dumicich, Sr. and Giordano in a fight for second bu thte caution came out for Finkbein, who spun in turn 1.
Debris on the frontstretch slowed the restart and on the next restart Dumicich, Jr. took the lead with Dumicich, Sr. and Lindeman side by side for second.  Giordano was fourth and Josh Stringer was fifth before he spun in turn 3 to bring the caution back out with 11 laps complete.
Lindeman got a good run on the outside of Dumicich, Jr. to move into the lead on the restart and Dumicich, Sr. also got around Dumicich, Jr. to drop him from the lead back to third.  Allen Coates was now fourth with Bert Ouellette right on his bumper in fifth.  Lindeman quickly pulled out to a lead of several truck lengths over Dumicich, Sr. with 10 laps to go.
Dumicich, Jr. was now applying heavy pressure to Dumicich, Sr. for second, which was allowing Lindeman to slowly stretch out his lead.  The action behind Lindeman was fast and furious as Ouellette, Dumicich, Jr. and Dumicich, Sr. were 3-wide dueling for second.  Dumicich, Jr. came out the winner as he took second with 6 laps to go.  Ouellette wasn’t going away quietly as he got back by Dumicich, Jr. on lap-20 to move back up to second.  Allen Coates lost an engine in turn 2 to bring the caution back out with 20 laps complete and erase the large lead that Lindeman had built up with all the side by side racing going on behind him.
Ouellette took the lead on the restart and immediately opened up a lead over Dumicich, Jr. with Giordano, Stringer, and and Koenig making up the top-5.  Ouellette led the field back to the checkered flag with Dumicich, Jr., Giordano, Stringer, and Koenig rounding out the top-5.
