Ray Cook Bumps 2013 Win Total to Nine Following Dixie/Rome Sweep!
(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Ray Cook's 2013 win total now stands at nine following a weekend sweep on August 31 at the historic Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Georgia and on September 1 at the Rome Speedway in Rome, Georgia! On Saturday evening at Dixie, Ray posted the fastest lap during the qualifying session and later drew the outside of the front row for the start of the weekly main event. Ray then led from flag-to-flag in the A-Main to score the $1,500 triumph over Jake Knowles, Cass Fowler, Donald McIntosh, and Lamar Haygood!
At Rome on Sunday night, the unsanctioned 'Rome Boss 50' took place and a $4,000 top prize was on the line. Ray laid down the second quickest lap during time trials and later started the 50-lapper from the outside of the front row. After slipping back to fourth in the running order early in the race, the Brasstown, North Carolina ace quickly moved back to the front and grabbed the top spot around the lap ten mark. Ray then beat Jake Knowles, Brian Smith, Donald McIntosh, and Aaron Ridley to the checkers to capture not only the $4,000 winner's share, but also a $1,000 bonus that was up for grabs for the weekend sweep of the sister tracks. Full results from both venues can be obtained by clicking on www.dixiespeedway.com.
“It has been a pretty good stretch for us lately and hopefully that continues throughout the rest of the season,” exclaimed Cook via telephone earlier today. “It always means a lot to win at Dixie and Rome. Those are two great racetracks and the Swims family has meant so much to this sport. The car was good all weekend and hopefully we learned some stuff that will help us at the Lucas Oil races at those two venues in early October. I just have to thank all of my sponsors, family, crew, and fans for all of their support!”
Ray Cook Racing will look to continue their recent hot streak this Saturday evening, September 7 at the Green Valley Speedway in Glencoe, Alabama. The Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series (SAS) will roll into “The Jungle” on Saturday to preside over the ‘Crimson & White 50.’ The 50-lap headliner at GVS boasts a $5,000 winner’s check. Additional information concerning the one-day SAS show can be viewed by logging onto www.sasdirt.com.
