The finish, came in Arocha's 3rd series start. Entering Season 3 of the Rainbow Dash Truck Series, Arocha was one of many drivers still trying to make a name for himself. Making his debut earlier in the season finishing 29th at Walt Disney World before finishing a career best in the last round at Tucson.
On race day Bright would roll off the grid starting in the last spot and as the field rolled off pit road, Arocha's truck began to smoke and he quickly turned his truck to run the low lane making sure no oil got on the track as he coasted back to the garage, his truck officially listed as "Out" by the first lap.
The remaining bottom five was filled up by lap eleven as a multi-truck wreck would break out on Lap 10 as the #21 Orleans Hotel & Casino Chevrolet of Eli Bright, Walt Disney World last place-finisher the #4 Link-Belt Construction Chevrolet of Jeff Bright, the #42 Hot Wheels Chevrolet of Gustau Odenberg and the #18 Dana Corporation Dodge of Chakat Whitelion would all be knocked out of the race.
