Ray Cook Claims $3k for Bill Ingram Memorial Title; Earns Two Additional Top Fives!
(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) The Ray Cook Racing team notched their third feature victory of the 2013 racing season on Saturday night, June 8 at the historic Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Georgia! After earning the pole position for the 'Bill Ingram Memorial' on June 1 before the completion of the show was postponed a week due to rain, Ray Cook took advantage of that starting spot to lead all 35 circuits in the unsanctioned event. Ray picked up the $3,000 payday by besting Donald McIntosh, Michael Page, Jake Knowles, and Ricky Williams. Later in the night in the regularly scheduled $1,500 to win program, Ray timed in second quickest during the qualifying session and later moved up a spot in the A-Main to finish fourth in the final rundown.
Ray returned to action on Tuesday, June 11 at the Laurens County Speedway in Laurens, South Carolina. The Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series presided over the 32nd Annual 'Laurens County Shrine Club Benefit' race. The Brasstown, North Carolina ace laid down the fifth fastest lap during time trials to earn the rights to the inside of the third row for the start of the $3,000 to win main event. During the course of the 35-lapper, Ray was able to advance to fourth to ultimately finish behind only winner Ross Bailes, Dennis Franklin, and Brandon Overton. Complete results from all of the recent action can be obtained by clicking on www.dirtondirt.com.
“We have had a pretty good last couple of days,” stated Cook earlier this morning. “I was able to capitalize on the pole position in the Bill Ingram Memorial and get that win. It is always great to reach victory lane at Dixie – that place has so much prestige and history. Then we got inverted back to start fifth in the regular show there and it was a good race, but we couldn’t get the track position we needed to finish any higher than fourth. I then made a last minute decision to head over to Laurens last night and there wasn’t a lot of passing, but we didn’t tear anything up and got us another fourth place finish.”
The #53 team now plans to sit idle for the next couple of weekends, as Ray turns his focus to promoting the Tri-County Race Track and to attending Revival at his church. Ray does plan to return to dirt-slinging competition over the June 28-29 weekend, but the locations and races are currently not set in stone.
