The 2009 comeback continues as Boocock roars to three consecutive wins at Pembrey. Following the 2nd and 1st place finishes earlier in the year at the last weekends racing in Thruxton, the reliability of both Truck and Driver is showing through.
With the fastest lap in qualifying and positioned on pole, Boocock and the silver bullet never left first place. picking up fastest lap and backing off once a 17 second lead had been established, Boocock was in a race of his own.
Ahead of the season finale and with podium finishes in 11 out of the last 12 rounds, including 4 first place finishes over the last four rounds, confidence is high in the UKT Racing camp. Following a poor start to the season with an early run of bad luck (DNF's!!), the team has pulled together to force the most impressive comeback in recent truck racing history.
Elton said "whilst it is still possible to take the championship, my focus will be for keeping 2nd and not doing anything stupid' he remarked "to get back so high after such a dissapointing start, we are so happy. We finished 2008 as runners up and we don't intend going backwards".
It must be like being on the safe question on who wants to be a millionaire for the team based in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Wiltshire and Yorkshire in equal parts. Whatever happens at the weekend, they have gauranteed their position in the 2009 top three.
