Bert Ouellette wins New England Truck Series Race at Stafford Speedway

Posted by Wayne G. Barber
In the 25-lap Mr. Rooter Truck Series feature, Dan Turbush led the field to the green with Bert Ouellette quickly moving into second.  Corey Coates was third in the running order with Duane Knoll nad Gerald Giordano, Jr. making up the top-5. 
Ouellette had to track down Turbush and with 10 laps complete he was right on Turbush’s tailgate.  Coates and Knoll were locked in a tight duel for third with Allen Coates now fifth all by himself on the track.  Ouellette was right behind Turbush as they began to navigate lapped traffic on lap-12.  Ouellette could get close to Turbush, but didn’t have enough momentum built up to make a pass. 
Turbush got loose in turn 2 as he was putting a lap on Shayne Young and Ouellette look to capitalize on that slip but Young spun to bring the caution out with 21 laps complete.

Ouellette briefly had the lead on the restart but Turbush came back strong at the line to maintain the lead.  Ouellette dove to the inside of Turbush on lap-23 in turn 4 and the two trucks rubbed with Turbush sliding up the track and Ouellette moving into the lead.  Ouellette led the field to the checkered flag for his second win of the season at Stafford.  Turbush finished second with Coates, Josh Stringer, and Dave Koenig rounding out the top-5.
