Ray Cook on Podium in Tennessee State Championship; Advanced Motorsports Eyes Charlotte

(CLINTON, TENNESSEE) Ray Cook and the #53 team rolled into Crossville Speedway in Crossville, Tennessee on October 7-8 for the annual running of the 'Tennessee State Championship.' The Southern Nationals Bonus Series presided over the two-day program in the Volunteer State, which was capped off by a $10,000 to win main event. Ray qualified fourth quickest in Group B during Friday's time trial session and later scored an impressive victory in his heat race.

After starting the 60-lap headliner on Saturday evening from the outside of the second row, Ray was in tire conservation mode early and often as he raced on the one-groove surface. At the checkers, the Brasstown, North Carolina standout was in the third finishing position behind only victor Donald McIntosh and runner-up Vic Hill. Full results from the 'Tennessee State Championship' weekend can be obtained online at www.southernnationalsseries.com.

Ray and the Advanced Motorsports team are now slated to enjoy the next two weekends away from the racetrack while they gear up for the huge ‘World of Outlaws World Finals’ weekend on October 27-29. Both Ray and team owner Stacy Boles are scheduled to be in competition at the pristine Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, North Carolina, as the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series will preside over a pair of huge showdowns. Following the two round qualifying session on Thursday night, a pair of $12,000 to win programs will be held in the Charlotte area for the Super Late Models on Friday and Saturday evening.
