From CCS Media – Citrus County Speedway kicked off it’s 2012 racing season in style with some exciting racing action on Saturday night. 18 Pure Stocks registered to compete for their 20 lap feature, which had a emotional and thrilling finish. Nicholas Malverty launched his bright yellow 17 car from his 8th starting position to take the lead by the end of lap 5. Following him was someone Nicholas is very familiar with, his father Eugene, in his bright yellow No. 23 machine. These two would battle for the lead over the final 15 laps, along with Larry Welter Jr. (58) in 3rd. In the end Nicholas showed that father doesn’t always know best, as he edged out the elder Malverty to take the first Pure Stock feature win of 2012. [click to continue…]
