Cook Wins Another One at Ace Speedway

Story by: Corey Latham ~ corey@RACE22.com

Altamahaw, NC(July 28, 2010) — At Ace Speedway this year, the two main players have been Rodney Cook and Dustin Rumley, and as the season has rolled on there has been no love loss between the two. While the personal feelings have somewhat calmed between the two, the action between them has not, with Rumley picking up the win a week ago over Cook who charged from the back of the field after starting last in an effort to pick up more ASA points.

This week it was Cook’s turn at the top of the podium once more, after a fierce battle with Rumley who picked up his seventh pole in a row at the bullring. While those two battled cleanly, behind them Brad Kurth did something that nobody had done in 20 years, he made the legendary Barry Beggarly upset. At Ace if one pair calms down a tad, somebody is always there to pick up the slack.

Cook conquers Late Models, authors another winning chapter at Ace

By Adam Smith of The Times News

ALTAMAHAW — The winning touches complete, Rodney Cook whipped around and set his car on cruise control, touring the track in what became a backward victory lap.

Attach another chapter to his storybook season at Ace Speedway.

The Reidsville driver conquered an eventful 75-lap Late Models feature Friday night, securing his eighth victory in the face of steamy conditions and sweltering situations.

“It just adds on to my dream season,” he said as his loyal throng of fans rejoiced. “It feels good to have a following behind me like this. That’s good, hard racing.”

Cook has won all except three of this season’s races in Ace’s premier classification. This time around, he recovered during the final stages to emerge on top of a competitive 16-car field.

Cook operated with the lead for 32 laps until relinquishing first position when Dustin Rumley’s No. 88 Chevrolet came alive on a restart and scampered to the front during a strong 15-lap run.

But then, on the sixth of seven action-packed restarts, here came Cook, refusing to fade quietly into the wake of Rumley’s surge.

Rumley never flinches, repels Cook in shootout ending at Ace

By Adam Smith of The Times-News

ALTAMAHAW — Less than two laps shy of rolling in with a well-earned win, a sudden caution flag meant that a menacing shootout-style ending now was staring down Dustin Rumley.

He never blinked.

The McLeansville young gun capped an unwavering performance by coolly handling the fiery pressure of a green-white-checkered conclusion and emerged victorious in the 75-lap Late Models feature Friday night at Ace Speedway.

Rumley led every lap and withstood the double-file fury of six caution periods and subsequent restarts to secure his second victory of the season in the track’s premier racing classification.

“It really just got better as I went,” he said of his No. 88 Chevrolet. “Them restarts just killed me. It pushed real bad on the restarts. Shoot, if I could’ve just settled in and hit some marks I believe it would’ve gotten better every lap.”

Roughed up and knocked out of the lead position in recent weeks, the 20-year-old Rumley stood tall during the most critical stages to repel his nemesis, Rodney Cook.

Reidsville’s Cook, who has ruled Victory Lane here, quickly rose from the rear of the 14-car field and challenged Rumley on the outside. He chose the cone and jumped to the high side during a pair of early restarts.

Ace’s Allen earns victories elsewhere

ALTAMAHAW — As Friday night’s rain showers swept over Ace Speedway, teams hurriedly packed up their cars, fans hustled out of the gates and track workers began the process of shutting down for the night.

With his red golf shirt soaked, Ace Speedway general manager Brad Allen was calmly orchestrating the exodus. Roughly six months into his tenure as the head of the track, he’s used to this type of thing.

But judging by his performance last week at Orange County Speedway, the former Modifieds points champion proved he’s still equally comfortable behind the wheel.

Allen joined several regulars from Ace’s premier support class in a mini tour of sorts during last weekend’s open date.

On Saturday night the group raced at Orange County Speedway, where Allen finished second but was awarded the victory after Gary Young Jr. was disqualified due to tire issues.
