Grovetown, GA - Chris Trull finally got to do something he has always wanted to do, drive one of the cars he spends much of time working on. Saturday night April 11th marked the season opener for the Gordon Park Speedway. The team came together and decided it was a perfect time for Chris to get some seat time learn in the Barry Wright chassis. When the night was threw Trull walked away with an 8th place finish but position is not what mattered in his mind. The seat time and the opportunity to learn is what mattered in his mind. You really have to get behind the wheel of one of these things to understand the ability it takes to drive a late model. After working on the cars for the past five years I just had to know what it was like, said Trull. I will drive again just need some more seat time to learn.
