VICKSBURG, Miss. (March 25) - Bub McCool competed in a pair of MSCCS/AMP Late Model Series Challenge events over the weekend, and along the way he picked up his second feature win of the season behind the wheel of his #57j Trak-Star/Barker Racing Engine Super Late Model.
The weekend got underway at North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Alabama on Friday night. In time trials Bub set quick time in his group and third fast time overall, which earned him a third starting position for the forty lap feature. McCool battled in the top five throughout the race's early stages before using the high groove near the race's midstage to take over the top spot. Bub fought off late race charges from Chris Wall and Ray Moore to pick up the $2,000 payday.
On Saturday night, the action shifted to North Mississippi Speedway in Corinth, Mississippi for night #2 of the MSCCS/AMP Challenge. Bub once again set quick time in his group and third quick overall. He started 3rd in the pole-sitters dash and finished 4th which earned him a 4th starting spot for the feature. From the drop of the green in the feature, Bub began battling an ill-handling car and was battling in the top five around lap 20, when he got a flat tire, and had to head pitside for fresh rubber. He rejoined the rear of the field and charged to an 8th place finish by the time that the checkered flag fell.
This weekend Bub and McCool Motorsports will head south to Pike County Speedway in Magnolia, Mississippi for a $20,000 to win event that is being sanctioned by the World of Outlaw Super Late Models. Action gets underway on Friday night with time trials and heat race action. B-mains and the feature event will be held on Saturday night.
