While Brian Cooper’s run of strong finishes continued Friday night at Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway, his absolutely terrible redraw luck continued to rear its ugly head, leaving the Yuba City driver with more work than he’d envisioned.
Cooper started off the night’s action by drawing the pole for his 8 lap heat race. Over the course of the race, Cooper was never seriously challenged. Cooper would go on to win the race by just under 2 seconds. What followed was of course the low point of the night for Cooper, as he drew the dreaded 12 pill, meaning he’d be starting outside row 6 for the feature.
At the drop of the green, Cooper went to work. Taking advantage of a few incidents, and making a few passes, Cooper quickly found himself in 6th. It wasn’t long before Cooper was on the move again, taking 5th a few laps later.
Once Cooper made his way to 4th, he could tell there was something wrong with his car. The car just had 0 speed coming off the turns. The sudden carburetor issues would effectively end any hopes Cooper had of racing for the win. Despite the issues, Cooper would manage to hold on to 4th for the remainder of the race, taking his 2nd Top 5 this season.
Brian’s next race will be this Saturday at the Donnie Tilford Tribute at Placerville Speedway.
