Vicksburg, MS (05/01/12) –Bub McCool piloted his #57J McCool Logging/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model to the biggest win of his career on Saturday night as he tamed “The Taz” to claim the $10,000 victory.
The World of Outlaws (WoO) Super Late Model tour rolled into North Alabama Speedway (Tuscumbia, Alabama) on Friday night for a $10,000-to-win event. Thirty-five Super Late Models registered for action, and time trials found McCool qualifying fifteenth fastest to lock into the fourth starting spot for the third heat race. After advancing to a third place finish in his heat race, Bub locked into the 11th starting spot for the 50 lap feature. The main event would prove to be a challenge for McCool as he battled a series of flat tires that resulted in him falling two laps down to the field. He would go on to record a 12th place finish at the checkered flag.
Saturday night was a huge outing for the team as Bub claimed his biggest career win to the tune of over $10,000 with his first ever World of Outlaws (WoO) Super Late Model victory! The event was held at Tazewell Speedway (Tazewell, Tennessee) and a star-studded field of 32 entries were on hand for the program at the wicked-fast, 4/10 oval. Bub started his night by qualifying third fastest behind only Scott Bloomquist and Eric Jacobsen to earn the pole position for the third heat. McCool would race his way to the heat win, which locked him into the redraw for the feature. In the redraw he received the pole starting spot for the 50 lap feature with Bloomquist joining him on the front row. As the race went green Bub shot to the lead with Bloomquist in tow. Bloomquist would pressure McCool throughout the course of the main event, but McCool would maintain the top spot to lead all 50 laps en route to the big win! The race also made history as the fastest 50 lap event in the history of the WoO tour as it took less than eleven minutes to complete the caution free event.
“This win is really special, and a lot of people have helped me get here. I have to thank Southern Belle, Schaeffer’s Oil, McCool Logging, Henderson Motorsorts, Good Hope Lumber, Hoosier Race Tires, and Billy (Moyer) and Chris (Sivesind) with Victory Circle. This was truly a team effort!” noted an elated McCool in victory lane.
Bub is now fifth in the latest WoO standings, and he continues to lead the Rookie of the Year standings. Full results from both events and the latest standings are available at www.WoOLMS.com.
