(BRASSTOWN, NORTH CAROLINA) Only six weeks removed from his 2012 season-ending ‘Turkey 100’ triumph at the Swainsboro Raceway in Swainsboro, Georgia, which netted him $20,000, Ray Cook will look to open up his 2013 campaign in winning fashion this weekend. The ’13 lid lifter for the Brasstown, North Carolina driver will take place on January 5-6 at the Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama. The ‘Ice Bowl XXII’ will be held at TST and Ray will enter both a Super Late Model and Crate Late Model.
The popular driver known as the “Tarheel Tiger” will jump behind the wheel of Joe Denby’s #27 machine to vie for the $6,000 top prize in the Super Late Model portion of the ‘Ice Bowl’ weekend. Ray will then drive his familiar #53 in hopes of picking up the $3,000 winner’s share in the Crate Late Model division. He is a multiple time winner of the ‘Ice Bowl,’ as he took the checkers at the track deemed as the “Hornets Nest” in 2009 and 2012.
