Rumley Steals Bounty Money at Ace Speedway

Story by: Corey Latham ~ corey@RACE22.com

Altamahaw, NC(June 15, 2010) — When any track has to put a bounty on someone, that shows that there has been some domination going on there and that has been exactly the case at Ace Speedway this year.

Rodney Cook has put up five wins in six races there, with Brad Kurth winning the other single race on a night of twin races. Now the racing has been fantastic, but Cook has just managed to come out on top at the end of every event. That all changed this past weekend as the bounty was collected the first week it was offered and Dustin Rumley now has an extra $500 to add to his winners purse.

While people were thinking that a few new cars would be there this week, that was not the case as eleven took the green flag. Jason York had tested the day before but did not return and John Moore broke a valve early that morning in practice causing the Ace regular to miss the event. Ryan Gray has been rumored to be returning, but since his accident at the first of the season injuring his wrist, he has not made it back, but says he will be there eventually.

Dustin Rumley changed over to a new Marlowe Racing Chassis three races ago and the difference has been noticable as he has been fast right out of the box with his new car. He kept up that record this past weekend as he put his #88 machine on the pole once again. Ace Speedway’s all time winningest driver Robert Turner put up the second best time followed by Jason Payne, Scotty Warren and Bobby Griffin rounding out the top five. Cook would roll off seventh, and knew he was going to have to drive hard from the start.
