[/media-credit]Joey Coulter captured his first career Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) win in the Poconos Mountain 125 race at Pocono Raceway on Saturday.
This is also the 26th career win for Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and the second in 2012.
“Joey’s had a really fast truck and it was misfortune that took him out of the winner’s circle. I’m really happy for his family. They’ve been there at every race pulling for him.” Childress said.
Coulter is the fourth first-time winner of 2012 and the ninth different winner this season.
While in victory lane Coulter was very happy with his No. 22 RCR team and thanked them all for the great work they did in putting him victory lane for the first time.
“As soon as the spotter said ‘green,’ I put the foot to the floor and just let the ECR [Earnhardt Childress Racing Engines] Chevrolet horsepower do the rest,” Coulter said. “We needed to make moves quick. Track position was real important.
Coultor’s mom joined them in victory lane and was very emotional for what her son has accomplished with his first win.
Timothy Peters who entered the weekend as the points leader was involved in a late race wreck which narrowed his points lead to 8 over Ty Dillon.
