Thompson, CT — Ronnie Williams and Stephen Kopcik brought the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series to green for the RaceChoice.com 75 Wednesday night with Williams taking the early lead ahead of Patrick Emerling. After peeking to the inside, Emerling finally made the turn-three power-move to lead lap 18 before Joey Mucciacciaro’s hard lick with the third turn wall.
