Kent Robinson Scores Pair of Top Five Finishes; Heads to Eldora

Bloomington, Indiana (04/09/12) – Kent Robinson took his #7r JB's Salvage/Mastersbilt/Jay Dickens Racing Super Late Model into a pair of events over the course of last weekend and came away with two, top five finishes to show for his efforts.

Kent entered a Weekly Racing Series Event at Farmer City Raceway (Farmer City, Illinois) on Friday night as a strong field of twenty, UMP Super Late Models registered for action.  In qualifications, Kent recorded the third fastest time, which locked him into the dash.  A fifth place finish in the dash earned him the fifth starting spot for the feature. He would battle in the top five during the duration of the feature before crossing the finish line in the fourth position behind race winner, Jason Feger, Ryan Unzicker, and Bobby Pierce Jr.  Full results are available at www.FarmerCityRaceway.com.

Saturday night found the team at Brownstown Speedway for a Weekly Racing Series Event as a solid field of 27 cars registered for battle.  Heat race action saw Robinson storming from the eighth starting position to a second place finish to lock into the sixth starting spot for the feature event.  In the main event he would mount another great charge through the pack as he staged a late race shootout with Chad Stapleton for the lead.  Unfortunately lap cars would not work in Kent's favor as he had to settle for a second place finish behind race winner, Stapleton.  Full results are available at www.BrownstownSpeedway.com.

"We would've loved to get a feature win this weekend, but as much bad luck and struggles that we've had to start the year, a pair of top five finishes feel real good right now.  Hopefully we can take this momentum into Eldora this Saturday and pick up the first win of the year," commented Robinson.

Next on the docket for Kent is a $2,000-to-win, Sunoco American Late Model Series (ALMS) event at Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) this Saturday.  The event opens the 59th season of racing at the famed, 1/2 mile oval.  For more information on the event, please visit www.EldoraSpeedway.com .

Eric Cooley Claims Biggest Win of His Career at GVS; Magnolia Next

Fulton, MS (04/09/12) – Eric Cooley piloted his #33b Bryson Motorsports/Barry Wright Crate Late Model to the biggest win of his career on Saturday night by topping the Junk Monkey Crate Nationals to claim the $10,000 payday!

After seeing the team's scheduled, $5,000-to-win, NeSmith Late Model Series event at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) postponed by rain, the team decided to heat east to Green Valley Speedway (Glencoe, Alabama) for the $10,000-to-win, Junk Monkey Crate Late Model Nationals. With 43 entries on hand, Eric qualified second fastest in his group before winning the first heat race to lock into the pole position for Saturday night's finale. He was joined on the front row by Kenny Compton Jr.

As the main event green on Saturday evening Compton Jr. assumed control of the lead, and Eric would pursue him for 28 laps before using lapped traffic to his advantage on lap 29 to take over the top spot. Once out front Cooley would find the going to be far from easy as Chris Wilson made a late race charge to try and take the top spot. Eric would fend off the advances from Wilson as he went on to pick up the biggest win of his career. He was followed across the finish line by Wilson, Compton Jr., Jake Teague, and Chase Edge.

An elated Cooley commented, "I'm just in shock. I can't believe I just won $10,000. This is the biggest accomplishment in my career so far, and it really means a lot to be able to get this win for Norman Bryson. I can't thank him enough for providing me with this awesome race car!"

Full results from the event are available at www.GreenValleySpeedway.com.

Eric will be looking to increase his bankroll even more this coming weekend, April 13th-14th, as he enters the inaugural Spring Throw Down at Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi). The event is headlined by two big shows for the Super Late Model division with a $2,000 winner's check up for grabs on Friday night and an $8,000 winner's check on the line on Saturday night at the 3/8 mile oval.

JON HENRY HOPING TO FIND COMFORT ZONE IN SEARCH OF FIRST ELDORA ALMS WIN
ROSSBURG, OH (April 4) – When the Sunoco sponsored American Late Model Series (ALMS) opens Eldora Speedway’s 59th consecutive season of auto racing on Saturday, April 14, defending ALMS and Eldora co-champion Jon Henry wants desperately to get his name on the prestigious list of Eldora Late Model winners; something that has eluded him to date.
“I’m not going to lie to you, it’s something I want bad, really bad,” stated Henry in a recent interview. “But it boils down to finding your comfort zone – coming up with the right combination of patience and aggression. I haven’t found that zone yet, but I’m getting close.”
Henry is a two-time ALMS champion (2011, 2009) and has won feature events throughout the Midwest, but admits that the sheer name of Eldora can offset the best of the best. “It’s Eldora, what can I say? Eldora has so much prestige and history. You get behind the wheel, line-up on the race track and start to think – this IS Eldora. Instantly the adrenaline kicks up ten notches and if you don’t watch out, it can get the best of you. I can’t think of any other track that does that to me.”
While a presence in the Late Model victory lane has escaped Henry to date, he has been there four times before in a UMP DIRTcar Modified, but even that took perseverance. “I had won multiple times at Limaland and elsewhere, yet it took me three years to overcome Eldora. I had to learn to slow down to go fast. Let’s face it; I had to learn to quit trying to knock down the wall.”
That mission was accomplished and now with three years of Late Model racing under his belt, he is ready to join the balance of other ALMS invaders on the 14th in hopes of grabbing the first checkered flag of the new season.
Expected to join Henry in the field are the likes of 2011 Eldora co-champion Brian Ruhlman, and former ALMS/Eldora champions Jeep VanWormer and Jerry Bowersock. VanWormer sits atop the ALMS win list at Eldora with six victories, while Ruhlman sits in second with five wins and Bowersock with four. If Henry has his way about things, he will see that the order doesn’t change and that he can add his name to the list of 30 other drivers that have conquered ALMS events at Eldora in the 65 events contested to date.
