Germán Quiroga was eager to end his 2013 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rookie season on a high note in his No. 77 NET10 Wireless Toyota Tundra. His race at Homestead-Miami Speedway proved what a skilled driver he is and how much he has learned during his first full year in the Truck Series. Although Quiroga qualified his Tundra in the 20th position, he carefully picked his way through the field and raced most of the race inside the top-10. Skillfully, Quiroga placed himself up in the third position before the first Green-White-Checkered finish.
On the last few laps Quiroga looked like he stood a good chance of securing his first victory but racing and chaos could almost be synonyms. With three consecutive Green-White-Checkered finishes, Quiroga was shuffled around as trucks were racing three-wide around the 1.5-mile speedway. Quiroga was scored in the seventh position at race’s end, capturing his sixth top-10 finish of the season. The finish also moved the NET10 Wireless driver up two positions in the driver point standings to finish the season in 13th.
Germán Quiroga talks about his race at Homestead-Miami Speedway:
“Tonight was a great night for our No. 77 NET10 Wireless Toyota Tundra. Our truck was better on the long runs but we made it all the way into the top-three. I was hoping we could bring home our first victory at the last race and home for NET10 Wireless, but we came close. It was a great way to end the season.”
