Lindeman Takes NETS victory at Monadnock
WINCHESTER, NH — Andy Lindeman showed yet again, why he is a five-time New England Truck Series champion by driving away from the field en route to his first victory of 2014. It was his first victory in the series in two years, and breaks the Monadnock winning streak of Duane Noll, who had won every NETS event at the 1/4 mile high banked speedway for the past two seasons.
Corey Coates started the race on the pole, but outside pole sitter Burt Ouelette got the advantage at the start of the event and moved to an early lead. Lindeman, who started third, was able to move by Coates for second and ran down Ouelette to challenge for the lead by the halfway point. Lindeman moved alongside down the backstretch and took the lead on lap 12, before driving off from the rest of the field on his way to victory. Ouelette would finish second, with Alan Coates and Duane Noll finishing side-by-side for third, and Corey Coates fifth.
Lindeman’s victory moves him into a first place tie with defending champion Duane Noll atop the series points standings. The New England Truck Series returns to action at Monadnock Speedway in three weeks. For more information on NETS, visit www.newenglandtruckseries.com or www.facebook.com/newenglandtruckseries.
