Ray Cook Readies for Smoky Mountain Speedway on Heels of Clash at the Mag

BRASSTOWN, NC (June 19) - Ray Cook hooked back up with Tommy Pope Racing on June 13-14 to compete in the annual 'Clash at the Mag' at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series once again presided over the two-day showdown, which drew 44 entrants to "The Mag" to vie for the hefty $20,000 top prize. On Friday night, Ray qualified eighteenth fastest in Group A during time trials, but later climbed to fifth in his loaded heat race.

Following a runner-up effort in Saturday's consolation race, Ray rolled off from the inside of the tenth row in the 100-lap main event. In front of the television cameras of the Lucas Oil Production Studios, the Brasstown, North Carolina native was able to move forward in the 'Clash at the Mag' - despite suffering a flat tire - and eventually netted a fourteenth place performance in the extra-distance affair. Complete results from Magnolia Motor Speedway can be viewed online at www.lucasdirt.com.

The popular driver known as the "Tarheel Tiger" is eyeing another run with the ultra-competitive Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series this coming Saturday, June 21 in the Volunteer State of Tennessee. The inaugural running of the 'Lucas Oil Ole Smoky Moonshine Classic' will be held at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tennessee on Saturday and a $10,000 winner's check will be on the line. A complete program featuring time trials, heat races, consolation events, and a 50-lap A-Main will thrill fans at the Knoxville-area venue, as the LOLMDS makes their first-ever visit.
