Chris Fontaine took his second win on dirt in as many weeks at Ocala Speedway Friday night, March 20.

“It was exciting for everybody. It was really fun to go to Ocala, and the competition was really good,” Fontaine said.

The Ocala Speedway press release described the race:

“The Amsoil V8 Thunder Stocks again showed up with a large field of cars ready to do battle, and again paint was traded and sheet metal was dented. James Erickson began the race from the pole but was quickly overtaken by Chris Fontaine on the first lap. Fontaine and Erickson waged a fierce, but sportsmanlike battle, with Erickson retaking the lead on lap 6. But contact led to damage on the 66 machine that took it out of contention later in the race, and leaving Chris Fontaine to hold off the rest of the competition.

Jason Gamble was strong again as the 17 car worked its way to the front of the pack. When Erickson dropped out it was Gamble who provided the drama in battle with Fontaine’s 47 machine, but to no avail. Fontaine got the win as Gamble held onto second place and David Walls wound up third.” BJ Cavin, Ocala Speedway

Looking forward to this coming weekend’s NASCAR Camping World Truck race in Martinsville, Virginia, Fontaine said,”Hopefully we can take this momentum and turn it into confidence and get up there.”

“We have a new trailer and everything is fixing to be loaded. The first thing we have to do is make the race. We have to get in on time, we don’t have any provisional points, so that is goal number one. After that, anything is good. A top 15 would be great, but first things first, we have got to make the race,” Fontaine said.

Fontaine will be driving the Glenden Enterprises/Yellowstone Energy Services Chevy Silverado #84 in the Kroger 250.

The race will be televised live on FOX at 2:00 pm.
