GennUSA Racing/Integrated Financial Concepts/CST Tires/Walsh Race Crafts’ Nick Gennusa came through to earn second overall on the day in Florida, and this weekend he will be looking to run at the front of the pack once again. Gennusa is eager to get back on the starting gate, as he has been pushing hard these past couple of weeks between rounds to continue on as a top contender.
