Eric Cooley Competes in NeSmith Action; Pike County Up Next

Fulton, MS (3/25/08) – Eric Cooley competed with the NeSmith Late Model Series over the weekend at Flomaton Speedway in Flomaton, Alabama behind the wheel of his #33c Mastersbilt Crate Late Model.

On Friday, Eric timed in 21st out of 36 entries in his first ever visit to Flomaton Speedway.  He would struggle in his heat race, which pinned him starting deep in the b-main on Saturday.  However, Cooley would manage to charge to a 4th place finish, which earned him a 24th starting position in the $5,000 to win feature event.  At the drop of the green flag in the feature, Cooley began passing cars, and when the checkered flag fell he was credited with a 14th place finish.  Eric currently sits 11th in the NeSmith Late Model Series National Point Standings and is 4th in the 2008 NeSmith Rookie of the Year Point Standings.

This weekend, Cooley Motorsports will travel to Pike County Speedway in Magnolia, Mississippi to compete in the NeSmith Weekly Racing Series event that will be held in conjunction with the World of Outlaw Super Late Model program.  For more information, please visit www.PikeCountySpeedway.com .
