Ray Cook Doubles Up with Pair of $3,000 SRRS Wins; Heads Back to Smoky Mountain!

(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA)  Ray Cook and his self-owned #53 team enjoyed a terrific weekend from June 27-29, as they claimed a pair of Southern Regional Racing Series (SRRS) victories!  On Thursday night at the Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tennessee, Ray timed in fourth quickest in his group during the qualifying session and later took the win in his consolation race.  After starting the 40-lapper from the outside of the fourth row, Ray drove to the front of the field to grab the point on lap 33.  The Brasstown, North Carolina ace then led the remainder of the race to score the $3,000 triumph over Brad Skinner, Jeff Watson, Josh Putnam, and Ryan King!

Following a day off on Friday to promote the Tri-County Race Track, Ray returned to racing action on Saturday evening at the Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tennessee.  Ray laid down the fastest lap in SRRS qualifying and later took the win in the dash.  After rolling off from the pole position in the A-Main, Ray led the first fourteen circuits before Billy Ogle, Jr. flashed by to grab the lead.  However, mechanical problems on Ogle's #201 handed Ray back the top spot on lap 25 and the "Tarheel Tiger" capitalized by leading the remainder of the 35-lap distance.  He picked up another $3,000 payday by beating Jason Welshan, Skip Arp, Josh Putnam, and David Crabtree to the checkers.  Full results from the weekend sweep can be viewed online at www.southernregionalracingseries.com.

"We had a pretty fast racecar at both places, but we also had a little luck on our side as well with Billy (Ogle, Jr.) breaking in front of us at Smoky Mountain," exclaimed Cook this week.  "Then Thursday night was wide open at Duck River and we just had to be patient and try not to get caught up in anything.  Fortunately, I just got a little body damage and was able to take the lead late in the race to get the win.  Hopefully, we can keep running strong and contend for another victory at Smoky Mountain this Saturday!"

The Ray Cook Racing team is scheduled to make a return trip to the Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tennessee this Saturday evening, July 6.  The Ultimate Super Late Model Series will preside over the $5,000 to win 'Firecracker 5000.'  Ray is always a threat when he pulls into the pit area at SMS and will be vying for his second straight win at the historic Volunteer State facility.  Additional information concerning the one-day show can be accessed by clicking on www.ultimatesupers.com.

Billy Moyer Racing Set for Weekend Off Following $10,000 Chris Smith Memorial Win!

(BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS)  Dirt Late Model Hall of Famer Billy Moyer racked up his 82nd career UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals victory on Friday night, June 28 at the Paducah International Raceway in Paducah, Kentucky!  Billy posted the fastest lap in his group during the qualifying session and later took the win in his stacked heat race.  After drawing the third starting spot prior to the 40-lap 'Chris Smith Memorial,' Billy grabbed the point from leader Tyler Reddick on lap 19 and never looked back.  The Batesville, Arkansas star picked up the $10,000 payday ahead of Ryan Unzicker, Shannon Babb, Kent Robinson, and Bobby Pierce!

In other "Hell Tour" action last weekend, the #21 team pulled into the pit area on Thursday evening, June 27 at the Clayhill Motorsports in Atwood, Tennessee.  Billy timed in sixth quickest in his group during qualifying and later grabbed the fifth and final transfer spot through his heat race.  The popular driver known as "Mr. Smooth" tried some things during the $5,000 to win A-Main and wound up seventeenth in the final rundown.  Saturday's UMP Summer Nationals showdown scheduled for the Federated Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Missouri was then washed out by Mother Nature.  Full results from the action-packed weekend can be accessed by clicking on www.thehelltour.com.

"We have been down a little bit this year, but we are definitely not giving up," stated Moyer following his win at PIR.  "My crew has been working their tail off and we are steadily gaining on things.  Sometimes you have got to go backwards a little bit before you go forward, so hopefully we are trending in the right direction now.  I am looking forward to getting this new car built and finishing the year on a strong note!" 

The Billy Moyer Racing (BMR) team has opted to take the upcoming July 5-6 weekend off from Dirt Late Model competition.  The team is currently building a new Victory Circle by Moyer car that they hope to debut very soon.  Depending on how the new car comes along, Billy is still up in the air about when he will race next.  Be sure to keep logging onto www.billymoyer.com to view the latest schedule dates when they are confirmed by the #21 team.

Bill Koons and John Anderson Team Up to Tackle Four Wild West Tour Events!

(OMAHA, NEBRASKA) In an announcement made today by team owner Bill Koons, the Bill Koons Motorsports team will travel with the ultra-competitive World of Outlaws Late Model Series to tackle four 'Wild West Tour' showdowns from July 8-12. In addition to Bill piloting his own #29 machine, an agreement has been reached to put three-time Lucas Oil MLRA Series Champion John Anderson behind the wheel of a second team car. John, who also hails from Omaha, Nebraska, can normally be found mashing the loud pedal of his Shop Quik Racing #2 entry, but will saddle up with Bill Koons Motorsports for the long trip through the states of South Dakota, Wyoming, North Dakota and the Canadian province of Manitoba.

"This is a deal that came together recently and I think it will be great for all parties involved," exclaimed Koons a short time ago. "Me and John (Anderson) have been friends for a long time and it will be fun going racing together. We are going to have (former crew chief) Bryan Larimore back with us for the trip, as well as John's old crew chief Vinny Guliani who is now with JRI Shocks. I am excited for the trip and hopefully we can run up front with the Outlaws guys next week!"

The four-race WOOLMS swing will start for the team on Monday, July 8 with an $8,000 to win program at the Black Hills Speedway in Rapid City, South Dakota. Another $8,000 payday will be on the line on Tuesday at the Gillette Thunder Speedway in Gillette, Wyoming. Following a day off for travel on Wednesday, both Bill and John will vie for $10,000 top prizes on Thursday at the Red River Co-op Speedway in Winnipeg, Manitoba and on Friday at the River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Additional information concerning all of these races can be found by pointing your web browser to www.woolms.com.

‘Chubzilla’ Heads West After Busy Month Of June Brings Him First Win & Best World of Outlaws Late Model Series Run Of ’13

BEAR LAKE, PA – July 4, 2013 – A busy month of June produced several highlights for Chub Frank, including his first feature win of 2013 and his best World of Outlaws Late Model Series finish of the season.

The 51-year-old standout from Bear Lake, Pa., made 14 starts during the month and finished outside the top 10 just three times. He ran off 11 consecutive top-10 placings – four of which were top-fives – until ending the stretch with three frustrating outings in a row during the June 27-29 WoO LMS Firecracker 100 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa.

After a month that saw Frank make his first Victory Lane appearance of the year in a Go Nuclear Crate Late Model Series event on June 21 at Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, N.Y., and finish a WoO LMS season-high third in the national tour’s first-ever event on June 20 at Brighton (Ont.) Speedway, he definitely had some moments to remember. But the competitive veteran also heads into July – and the big WoO LMS Wild West Tour that runs from July 5-12 – wanting better, more consistent results.

“Lernerville wasn’t good,” said Frank, who finished 23rd (June 27) and 18th (afternoon of June 29) in the Firecracker 100 preliminary A-Mains and capped the weekend with another 23rd-place run in the rain-delayed 100-lap finale on the evening of June 29 (he dropped out after 32 laps with problems that included a broken axle tube, busted U-joint and cut brake line). “But other than that, the month was pretty good – especially the Canadian trip. We’re still a little bit behind on preparation from where we need to be, but we were better (in June).”

Frank’s most encouraging performance came at Brighton, where he charged forward from the seventh starting spot to finish a solid third in the Excel Tower Service 50 behind WoO LMS stars Darrell Lanigan and Josh Richards. He reached third on lap 20 and stayed there for the remainder of the distance.

“It was a good run for us,” said Frank, who recorded his third top-five finish of the 2013 WoO LMS campaign. “We were a little tight if we slowed down and loose if we ran in there hard like them (leaders) were, but we’re happy. (Lanigan and Richards) are the two guys that you gotta beat, so I guess finishing behind them is almost like a win – for us anyway right now.”

After leaving Brighton, Frank spent his two off-days before the WoO LMS event on June 23 at Cornwall (Ont.) Motor Speedway making rare crate-engine Late Model starts in a car prepared by Greg Belyea. A customer of Frank’s, Belyea drove Frank’s second Corry Rubber/Lake Shore Paving/Hino Toyota Rocket No. 1* at both Brighton (finished 19th) and Cornwall (finished 17th) and returned the favor by putting Frank in one of his crate-engine machines – complete with a No. 1* on the side – for two Go Nuclear Series events.

Frank nearly swept the two races, winning the $1,000 top prize at Mohawk and finishing third on June 22 at Brockville Ontario Speedway (after being slowed by an overheating engine).

“It was fun to do something different like that,” Frank said of his crate-engine doubleheader. “I don’t run those crate cars so when a guy asks me what to do with one it’s hard to give them a good answer. I have a better idea of what a crate car needs now, so that was a good thing. Getting a win was just a bonus.”

Frank spent the first half of the month racing close to home at Stateline Speedway in Busti, N.Y. (10th in WoO LMS A-Main on June 1, third in regular show on June 8); Eriez Speedway in Hammett, Pa. (fourth on June 2 and ninth on June 9); and McKean County Raceway in East Smethport, Pa. (finishes of 10th and ninth in a ULMS doubleheader on June 14-15).

Then Frank hit the road with the WoO LMS on a four-race swing through New York and Canada. He sandwiched Brighton with finishes of seventh on June 19 at Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway (after winning a heat race and starting fifth in the 50-lapper); seventh on June 23 at Cornwall; and 10th on June 25 at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Motorsports Park.

In addition to his two-car effort with Belyea at Brighton and Cornwall, Frank also entered a second car in the Fonda race for the track’s 2011 Big-Block Modified champion Ronnie Johnson of Duanesburg, N.Y. Johnson, who made his dirt Late Model debut, timed sixth-fastest in qualifying – one position behind Frank – and qualified through a heat race but pulled out of the A-Main early due to difficult-to-pass conditions, finishing 21st.

Frank, who sits 10th in the WoO LMS points standings after his rough Firecracker 100 weekend, spent the past few days regrouping for his longest trip of the season: the WoO LMS Wild West Tour. The six-race swing begins on July 5 at Amsoil Speedway in Superior, Wis., and continues at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., on July 6; Black Hills Speedway in Rapid City, S.D., in July 8; Gillette (Wyo.) Thunder Speedway in July 9; Red River Co-op Speedway in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in July 11; and River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., on July 12.
