After nearly a year layoff, it didn’t take Vinnie long to get back to winning form. In only his second time behind the wheel of Bob DiMino’s S-10 truck, Vinnie racked up a $5,000 Footbrake victory.

Here is Frankie checking the tire pressure before his first blast down the racetrack in almost 2-1/2 years.

The seat in the truck Vinnie normally drives was vacant for the last two races of the weekend-but not for long. Frankie strapped behind the wheel of the DiMino-owned S-10 and went 3 rounds in Super Pro.

Here is Frankie leaving the starting line in his first final round since getting back in the car. He lost a close race to Tom Harhart.
