The win was Rocco’s second VMRS at Thompson and his
6th career series win.
“We had a great car all year all the races we ran we
should have contended for a lot more wins and had a
lot more than we did. But gotta thank everyone on my
team they worked real hard.” Rocco stated in victory
lane.
Rocco added, “Congratulations to (Woody) Pitkat I
knew he wasn’t going to force the issue this thing
was just fast tonight.”
