Eric Cooley Wins First NeSmith Event of 2010 at Jackson

Fulton, MS (04/13/10) – Eric Cooley is coming off a great pair of performances over the weekend with the NeSmith Late Model Series as he picked up a win and a second place finish.

Eric enjoyed a great weekend behind the wheel of his #33c Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer as he entered a pair of NeSmith Late Model Series events. On Friday night, Cooley was in action at Greenville Speedway in Greenville, Mississippi. A stout field of 36 competitors entered the event, and Eric started the night by qualifying 4th fastest to lock into the main event. He worked his way up to the second position during the course of the feature to record a second place finish behind, Mike Boland.

On Saturday, the team traveled to Jackson Motor Speedway in Byram, Mississippi for another NeSmith Late Model Series event. Eric had an up and down night, but by the time the checkered flag dropped he ended the night standing in victory lane after winning the $2,600 event. Cooley set second fast time in qualifications to earn the second starting position for the feature. He would fall as far back as the fourth position early in the feature. At one point he was even spun, but another driver was credited with the caution, allowing him to retain his spot. He would see his car come to him during the latter stages of the race as he raced his way past Mike Boland to take sole possession of the lead on the 32nd lap. Eric went on to lead the last 18 laps to take his first win of the year. He is also now leading the NeSmith Late Model Series standings!

This weekend Eric will make the trip to Batesville Motor Speedway in Locust Grove, Arkansas for a pair of Crate Late Model events, which are being sponsored by Bad boy Mowers and Isle of Capri Casino. On Friday, April 16th a $1,500 to win feature will be held, while a $2,000 to win feature will be held on Saturday, April 17th. For more information, please visit www.BatesvilleMotorSpeedway.net .
