BACK TO VICTORY LANE FOR JOEY LICATA IN ASA TRUCK SERIES



LAKE BALBOA, CALIF. (MAY 28, 2010) –2009 ASA TRUCK SERIES champion Joey Licata, Jr., 18, took home his first win of the 2010 season Saturday night at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, Calif.

Licata entered the event with a pair of second place finishes so far in the ASA TRUCK SERIES while splitting time between Trucks and driving in NASCAR Late Models for Tim Huddleson’s High Point Racing.

The Ron Sutton’s Winner’s Circle driver development team member drove the #71 United Nissan / Justice Brothers Chevrolet Colorado on Saturday to victory around after taking the lead on lap 60.

Licata qualified second with a lap time of 19.90 seconds around the half-mile oval and started eighth in the main event after the invert.  After moving into second by lap five, Licata began to bide his time through lapped traffic.
