Keith Rocco Scores Top-Five Finish for Our Motorsports
HUNTERSVILLE, NC (June 11, 2015) – After three races of continued progress for Keith Rocco and the No.22 Our Motorsports team, the Mr. Rooter 125 at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park was another chance to show their progression.
After qualifying in the third position, Keith Rocco and the No. 22 team had a great starting position for the Mr. Rooter 125. With only two cautions throughout the 125 lap event and race leader Doug Coby setting a fast pace, maintaining track position was critical to being in the fight at the end of the race. Taking the checkered flag in fourth, this continues to showcase the constant growth of Rocco and the Our Motorsports team.
“We unloaded off the truck fast,” Rocco said following the race. “With the long green flag runs and fast pace being set by the leaders, be knew maintaining our track position would be crucial to getting a good finish. Brad (Lafontaine) made the call to take three tires on our pit stop and coming out after that, the car handled and felt great. I am proud of the 22 team and where we have come in just a few shorts races this season!”
