Eric Cooley Wins Double Features at Columbus Speedway

Fulton, MS (05/21/13) – After a slow start to the year Eric Cooley was able to kick things up a notch on Saturday night as he scored a pair of feature wins in his Bryson Motorsports entries at Columbus Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi).

The Super Late Model division found Cooley registering the fastest time around the 1/3 mile oval in his #33b Bryson Motorsports/Barry Wright/Jeff Burns Racing Engine Super Late Model to earn the pole position for the feature. He ran second during the opening laps before jumping to the lead on lap 7. Once out front he never looked back on his way to the victory, which came over Jamie Tollison, Randy Body Thompson, Jason Brock, and Jeff White.

In the Late Model Stock/Crate Late Model Cooley started the night by advancing from the third position in his heat race to a second place finish to lock into the third starting spot for the feature in his #33b Bryson Motorsports/Victory Circle by Moyer entry. Early in the main event he bided his time before using the cushion on lap 8 to jump to a lead that he would never relinquish. Jeff Holloway, Hunter Carroll, Shay Knight, and Johnny Smith rounded out the top five.

"Our cars have been good all year, but we've just had some bad luck," said Cooley. "I knew if we could just catch a break or two that we would find our way to victory lane, and that's just what we were able to do on Saturday night."

Full results from both divisions are available at www.ColumbusSpeedway.net.

Cooley is still trying to decide on where he will race on Saturday as he will either enter the $2,500-to-win, Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) Super Late Model event at Columbus Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) or a $2,000-to-win, NeSmith Late Model Series event at Whynot Motorsports Park (Whynot, Mississippi). On Sunday evening he will pull double duty at Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) in the NeSmith Late Model Series and Super Late Model divisions.
