Previous Race Recap… Things got a little bit dirty as the NCWTS made its debut at the legendary Eldora Speedway. After a strong qualifying run and an extremely competitive heat race, Paludo fought his way back from a lap down to finish 21st in the first ever NCWTS race on dirt.

 

Miguel Paludo on driving at Pocono Raceway

“Coming from Eldora, I don’t think I have ever had such an appreciation for asphalt. Last week’s race was fun, but I’m happy to get back to a paved track where our team has had good results in the past. We’re bringing the same truck we brought to Kentucky [Speedway] and Texas [Motor Speedway], and we had top 10s at both. We qualified and ran well at Pocono last year, so based on the direction our team has been going so far this season, I know we’ll be even better this time.”
