De Tullio Finds Perfection for Maiden USF Pro 2000 Victory
Turn 3 Motorsport Team on Top Again on Streets of St. Petersburg
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Alessandro De Tullio has found his stride. After making his USF Pro 2000 Presented by Continental Tire debut toward the end of last season following an enforced 18-month hiatus from car racing due to a lack of funding, the 18-year-old university student from Miami, Fla., joined forces with the defending series champion team Turn 3 Motorsport over the winter. He came out of the blocks strongly by setting the pace in last week’s Spring Training test at NOLA Motorsports Park and translated that form into an emphatic victory in today’s first leg of the Andersen Interior Contracting Grand Prix of St. Petersburg doubleheader.
