FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The “Tarheel†Tiger Roars to Victory Lane in Rain Dodger 40 at Richmond Raceway!
RICHMOND, KY (June 11, 2011)-Known as The “Tarheel Tiger†of Brasstown, North Carolina, Ray Cook took the lead after a caution on lap 32 to pick up the $3,000 top prize in the inaugural event for the United Super Dirt Car Series at Richmond Raceway June 11.
Mike Jewell grabbed the lead on the initial green flag and hustled out to a five car length lead over the field. However, Jewell was quickly joined in a battle for the lead that included Dustin Linville, Aaron Hatton, Ray Cook, and Victor Lee. By lap 10 the top five could be covered with a blanket as they all battled for position with Linville taking the top spot from Jewell exciting turn two.
After a caution the action began to heat up as Linville, Cook, and Lee all battled for the top spot at times three-wide for the lead. Linville continued to lead before the turning point of the race came on lap 32 when Cook and Linville excited turn two side-by-side racing hard for the lead. The pair made contact sending Linville into the outside wall and spinning down the back stretch, ending his night with rear suspension damage.
Cook also sustained some left front damage but was able to continue holding off a hard charging Victor Lee for the remaining eight laps to take home the win aboard the Danny Dishman owned A Plus Moving and Storage/Hicks and Ingle Company/VP Racing Fuels #53 MasterSbilt Race Car powered by a RED Race Engine.
Other feature event winners included Victor Lee of Danville, KY in the Open Wheel Modifieds, John Cole of Berea, KY in the Sportsman, and Glen Hounshell, Sr. of Berea, KY in the Road Hogs.
Due to time restrictions, the Four Cylinder feature was postponed. They will run double features next Saturday, June 18.
