(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Ray Cook was finally able to kick off his 2020 racing season on Saturday afternoon, February 15 and promptly put his #53 Capital racecar into victory lane at Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tennessee! Ray clicked off the fourth fastest lap during the qualifying session for the unsanctioned program to earn the outside of the second row for the start of the 40-lap ‘Winterfest’ main event.
At the outset of the race, Ray moved up to the second spot and eventually grabbed the point around the lap six mark. The Brasstown, North Carolina standout then led the remainder of the feature distance to bag the $3,000 top prize ahead of Sam Seawright, Josh Putnam, David Brannon, and Casey Turman! Complete results from ‘Winterfest’ at Duck River Raceway Park can be viewed online at www.duckriverracewaypark.com.
“It was great to start the year off with a victory over the weekend at Duck River,” exclaimed Cook this week via telephone. “We made the right adjustments at the right times and things just worked out in our favor. It is so hard to win these days and you never know if you are going to get another one or not. I have to thank all of my sponsors, but especially Joe Denby who got this Capital racecar for us. We hadn’t raced it yet before Duck River, but we did get to practice with it a few times and it’s a really nice piece!”
The next scheduled event for Ray Cook Racing is the Ultimate Super Late Model Series lid lifter on Saturday, March 7 at North Georgia Speedway in Chatsworth, Georgia. A $4,000 winner’s check will be up for grabs at the northern Georgia facility on the first Saturday of March. More information on this contest can be accessed by clicking on www.ultimatesupers.com.
