Eric Cooley Claims PRO Dirt Car Series Championship & RoY Honors



by Ben Shelton
Fulton, MS (11/08/11) – Super Late Model rookie, Eric Cooley, achieved a pair of impressive accomplishments over the weekend as he claimed the 2011 PRO Dirt Car Series Championship as well as the PRO Rookie of the Year honors in his #33c Victory Circle by Moyer/Jeff Burns Racing Engine Super Late Model.

Eric entered his final event of the season over the weekend in the 5th Annual Gumbo Nationals at Greenville Speedway (Greenville, Mississippi) as he looked to claim the PRO Dirt Car Series Championship as well as the tour's Rookie of the Year honors. Thirty-five Super Late Models entered the $7,000-to-win/$700-to-start, 70 lap event, and Eric's weekend would start slowly as he struggled in time trials. As a result, he started eighth in his heat race before advancing to a fifth place finish, which left him one spot short of a transfer to the feature.

Via his heat performance he started on the front row of a b-main on Saturday night before claiming the b-main win to lock into the 17th starting spot for the finale. In the feature he would advance eight spots to a ninth place finish to claim the PRO Dirt Car Series Championship and the Jeff Burns Racing Engines Rookie of the Year honors!

The team is currently unsure if they will enter anymore events in 2011, so please stay tuned to EricCooleyRacing.com for the latest team information. Also, a newly redesigned website will soon be launched for the team, so stay tuned.

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.

Cooley Motorsports is currently looking for new sponsors and marketing partners. For more information on joining the team and more information on Cooley Motorsports, please visit www.EricCooleyRacing.com .
