Brooklyn, MI -- The CASCOR THL Truck Series rolled into the Michigan International Speedway on April 3rd, 2012. Last year this race was one of the most competitive races of the year. Would it match last years exciting race? Or is there anyway it could be better?
Kyle Young and Mike Husby made up the front row and led the field to the green flag. The race started off just as excitingly as it had last year, with Pete Engelmanas making it three wide for the lead in turn one lap 1 and made it stick, holding onto the lead off turn two.
Some of the best wheel to wheel action all season saw positions swap several times a lap and the lead changed nine times between 5 different drivers throughout the event.
Six cautions slowed the excitement for 18 laps, setting up a three lap race to the finish. Pete Engelmanas and Brent Sweet led the field to the restart. Engelmanas held on the final 3 laps as Brent Sweet and the rest of the field came up short trying to make something happen to win the race.
Engelmanas went on to win his 2nd race of the 2012 season. Brent Sweet finishes 2nd, Andrew Hayes 3rd, Kyle Young 4th and Mike Husby rounded out the top 5. Chris Swett finished 6th, Ben Althen 7th, Bertus De Jong 8th, Robert Hill 9th and Curtis James rounded out the field in the top 10.
After yet another exciting race at Michigan with the THL Truck Series the Series heads to the track that is "Too tough to Tame" Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina.
