Ray Cook Tenth in Texas; Readies for Shamrock 50 at Cleveland Speedway
(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Ray Cook and the #53 D&R Motorsports team headed to the Deep South to compete in two more Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series battles on March 30-31. On Friday night, the Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, Mississippi played host to the $10,000 to win 'Southern 50.' Ray ran eighth in his heat race and fifth in his B-Main, but later took use of a series provisional to gain access into the 50-lap main event. The Brasstown, North Carolina ace then worked past nine competitors during the A-Main to score a fifteenth place performance.
The dirt-slinging competition quickly shifted to the Lonestar Speedway in Kilgore, Texas on Saturday evening for the running of the $10,000 to win 'High Banks Havoc.' Ray hurt a motor during his qualifying laps and was forced to break out a back-up car prior to heat race action. He rebounded nicely to earn the fourth and final transfer spot from the tail in his heat race and later started thirteenth on the grid in the 50-lap feature event. The driver known as the "Tarheel Tiger" moved up three positions in the A-Main to claim a respectable tenth place finish. Ray still finds himself eleventh in the latest version of the LOLMDS point standings following the weekend double-dip. Full results can be viewed online at www.lucasdirt.com.
With the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series taking the Easter holiday weekend off, Ray will travel to the Cleveland Speedway in Cleveland, Tennessee on Saturday, April 7 for the annual running of the ‘Shamrock 50.’ The Southern Allstars Dirt Racing Series (SAS) will preside over the one-day show at the historic southern Tennessee venue. The winner of the 50-lap ‘Shamrock’ will pocket $10,000. Ray won in his last trip to Cleveland, as he picked up the $5,000 win in the ‘Gobbler’ last November.
