Ray Cook Flexes Muscle in Lucas Oil Doubleheader; Tennessee State Championship Next

(CLINTON, TENNESSEE) The Advanced Motorsports team invaded Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Georgia and Rome Speedway in Rome, Georgia on October 1-2 for a pair of lucrative Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series battles. On Saturday night, a $12,000 top prize was on the line in the annual running of the 'Dixie Shootout.' Ray Cook laid down the sixth quickest lap in Group A during qualifying prior to placing second in his loaded heat race. After starting the 60-lapper from the inside of the sixth row, Ray was able to advance up inside of the top ten and eventually placed ninth in the final finishing order.

At Rome on Sunday evening, a $10,000 winner's check was up for grabs in the 'Rome Showdown.' Ray clicked off the fastest time in Group A during the qualifying session and later scored an impressive heat race triumph. After starting the 50-lap headliner from the pole position, the Brasstown, North Carolina standout was a fixture towards the front of the stellar field before winding up sixth at the checkered flag. Ray trailed only victor Scott Bloomquist, Don O'Neal, Brandon Overton, Chris Madden, and Jonathan Davenport. Complete results from both Dixie and Rome can be accessed online at www.lucasdirt.com.

Ray will unload his #53 Capital racecar out of the Stacy Boles Racing stable on October 7-8 at Crossville Speedway in Crossville, Tennessee. The Southern Nationals Bonus Series will preside over the ‘Tennessee State Championship’ and all competitors in attendance will have their sights set on the $10,000 payday. Qualifying and heat races are scheduled for Friday night at Crossville, while Saturday’s action will be headlined by consolation events and the 60-lap feature.
