Fulton, MS (03/23/10) – Eric Cooley is set to take his best shot at claiming the $25,000 top prize in this weekend’s 2nd Annual Crate Nationals at Green Valley Speedway in Glencoe, Alabama.

Last Saturday, Eric entered his second Super Late Model event of the 2010 season at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Alabama with the P.R.O. Dirt Car Super Late Model Series. Eric started the night by qualifying 8th fastest in his group to earn the fifth starting spot in a qualifier. He went on to finish 5th in the qualifier, which resulted in him starting 16th in the 40 lap, $2,500 to win feature. In the main event, Eric would begin marching toward the front of the pack early in the event as he was up to the 10th position by the race's midway point. Over the remainder of the event, he raced his way to a solid 6th place finish, and along the way earned the Hard Charger Award.

This weekend, March 25th-27th, Eric, who is the 2009 NeSmith National Late Model Series Champion, will travel to Green Valley Speedway in Glencoe, Alabama for the $25,000 to win/$1,000 to start Crate Nationals. However, he will not be in his familiar #33c entry as he will be behind the wheel of the #21 Mastersbilt Crate Late Model, which is owned by Norman Braxton. Eric is not a stranger to the car though as this is one of his former cars that he recently sold to Braxton.

“I’m really excited about the Crate Nationals this weekend, and I can’t thank Mr. Braxton enough for giving me the opportunity to pilot his car in this huge event. Hopefully I can bring home the $25,000 check!” commented Cooley.

Eric and everyone at Cooley Motorsports would like to thank all of their sponsors, which include 78 Towing & Recovery Inc., Cooley Transport Inc., Twisted Designs (Fayette, AL), GW Performance, MSRMafia.com, Victory Circle By Moyer, and Simpson Race Products.
