Bub McCool Masters the Bullring for First Win of 2015

Vicksburg, MS (05/13/15) – Bub McCool enjoyed a stellar weekend in his McCool Logging #57J RBT Motorsports/Club 29 Race Car/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model as he scored back-to-back victories in his home state of Mississippi.

Bub McCool won a thriller on Friday night at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) as the Mississippi State Championship Challenge Series (MSCCS) and COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) Super Late Models went head-to-head in a $2,000-to-win event.

Thirty-three competitors registered for action, and via preliminary action Bub earned the 10th starting spot for the 40 lap finale. As the recent went green he quickly began working his way forward through the field. With the race approaching the closing laps McCool began to catch the leader, Brian Rickman. On the final lap McCool made his move on Rickman, and won the drag race to the checkered flag to claim the win by a matter of inches. Rickman, Kyle Beard, Robert Baker, and Duke Palasini rounded out the top five finishers. The victory was his second of the year.

Looking to back up his performance, Bub traveled to Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) on Saturday evening for another challenge event between the two series. With 47 entries on hand Bub overcame a battle with Billy Moyer to score the $2,500 victory. He was followed across the finish line by Moyer, Dane Dacus, Chad Thrash, and Rick Rickman.

“Even though I’m still learning how to adjust my driving style to these Club 29 cars, I’m already loving the feel of them,” said an elated McCool. “Greenville has always been good to me, but it’s been a while since I won at Magnolia, so that really says a lot about how good these cars are.”

Ashley Newman Wins Wild One at Lexington 104 Speedway

Ripley, Tennessee (05/13/15) – Ashley Newman powered the Upton Motorsports #73 Greg’s Sawmill Bob Pierce Crate Late Model to his sixth win of 2015 on Saturday night with a triumph in a wild feature at Lexington 104 Speedway (Lexington, Tennessee).

After starting 4th on the feature grid Newman was running in the 3rd spot as the race approached its midway point. Bad luck would strike the leader as he was forced to cut through the infield to dodge a lap car. Newman and the 2nd place runner went three-wide with the leader entering turn three with Ashley taking the advantage exiting turn four. From that point Newman cruised to the victory.

“That was a crazy race tonight, and some bad luck for the leader there,” said Newman. “I’ve been on the other end of that situation before though, so it’s nice to come out on the other end.”

This weekend, May 15th-16th, Upton Motorsports is tentatively scheduled to enter a pair of Crate Late Model events at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway (Calvert City, Kentucky). The event is being tabbed the Bluegrass Nationals. On Friday evening a $1,000 top prize is up for grabs, and on Saturday evening the winner’s share will be increased to $3,000.
