Bub McCool Fan Club, Facebook, Schedule Updates, World 100 Tickets, & More

Vicksburg, MS (06/22/10) – Present day is a busy time for Bub McCool and McCool Motorsports with Bub criss-crossing the country in his #57J McCool Logging/Victory Circle M1 Chassis By Moyer/Roush Yates Racing Engine Super Late Model, while back at ground zero for Mohawk Nation there are new social networks, fan clubs, and apparel lines coming to life.

The past two weeks have been a whirlwind for Bub as he has been burning up tracks throughout the upper half of the Midwest. A quick summary of Bub’s recent endeavors include:

(June 13th, 2010) McCool Motorsports made the long trip to Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio over the June 11th-12th weekend for the 16th Annual Dream 100. The $100,000 to win event drew 104 cars, and via time trials, Bub started 8th in his heat race on Saturday night. Despite starting deep in a talent-laden field, Bub would mount a charge to the 4th position by the time that the checkered flag dropped on the heat, which left him one spot short of a transfer to the feature. Via his heat finish, he earned the pole starting position for the b-main event. However, before the b-main event could be run, heavy rain set in forcing the balance of the program to be moved to Sunday afternoon. When action resumed on Sunday, Bub would find the going to be rough early in the b-main before rebounding to a 6th place finish, which earned him the 23rd starting position in the 100 lap finale. He would battle around midpack for the first 28 laps of the event before making the decision to retire to save his equipment, and was credited with a 23rd place finish.

(June 16th, 2010) Bub opened the 2010 Hell Tour (aka UMP Summernationals) on Wednesday night at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Indiana. With a stout field of 50 competitors from across the country on hand, Bub raced his way to a second place finish in his heat race to lock into the ninth starting position in the $5,000 to win, 40 lap Hoosier Dirt Classic feature. He would enjoy a strong run in the feature to pick up a sixth place finish behind event winner, Billy Moyer, Mike Marlar, Jack Sullivan, Greg Johnson, and Jeep Van Wormer.

(June 17th, 2010) The team traveled to Kankakee Speedway in Kankakee, Illinois on Thursday night for Round #2 of the UMP Summernationals. Forty eight Super Late Models entered the $5,000 to win, 40 lap event. After starting sixth in his heat race, Bub raced to a third place finish to pick up the 9th starting spot for the main event. In the feature he was running in the top ten on the 18th lap when he got into the turn four wall bringing his night to an early end.

(June 18th, 2010) With round #3 of the UMP Summernationals at Cedar Lake Speedway on Friday night, forty-three cars entered the event, and Bub got behind the eight ball early by qualifying 8th fastest in his group, which pinned him with the 8th starting spot in his heat race. However, he didn't let that hold him back as charged through the field to take the fourth and final transfer spot on the white flag lap. He went on to start 16th on the feature grid, but would retire early from the event with mechanical issues.

(June 19th, 2010) Bub was back in action at Cedar Lake Speedway on Saturday night with a $10,000 prize on the line. Bub finished 3rd in his heat to earn the 10th starting spot for the main event. He would battle around midpack for the entire event before ultimately recording a 10th place finish.

(June 20th, 2010) On Sunday night, the team made their first ever trip to Wilmot Speedway in Wilmot, Wisconsin for Round #5 of the Summernationals. In time trials, Bub was third fastest and went on to start third in his heat race. He would quickly bolt to the lead in the heat and went on to claim the win. In the redraw for the feature, he drew the second starting position. He battled in the top five for the first half of the race before contact from Shannon Babb just after the halfway point sent him spinning from the top five. He would recover to record a 12th place finish.

Bub has decided to pull away from the UMP Summernationals Tour and is preparing for this weekend 4th Annual Firecracker 100 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania. The event includes three complete programs on Thursday through Saturday, June 24th-26th, which offers a driver to claim as much as $42,000 in prize money. The event is being sanctioned by the World of Outlaw Super Late Model tour. For more information, please visit www.Lernerville.com or www.WoOLMS.com .
