𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑮𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔: Eric Cooley & David Kay
Hosted by: Cody Earley

𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗲

1️⃣On this week's show, we'll chat with Eric Cooley of Fulton, Mississippi! The former two-time Crate Racin' USA Dirt Late Model Series champion picked up the CRUSA Dirt Late Model win this past weekend at Pine Ridge Speedway.

Cooley became the youngest driver to win the CRUSA touring championship back in 2009 and returned in 2010 to win it again!

We'll break down his racing career, catch up on what he's been up to, and find out what the future holds for Cooley behind the wheel!

2️⃣ AND we'll chat with Lincoln, Alabama, driver David Kay after his sweep at the "Hornet's Nest" this past Saturday night!

Kay led every lap in both the CRUSA Dirt Late Model and CRUSA Late Model Sportsman features at Talladega Short Track, and he's hoping that momentum carries over into some of the big events still to come this season.

But the racing story goes further than just David! We'll find out how his racing career got started and how the Kay name is already in the works to compete at the big track in the future!

3️⃣ - PLUS, we'll recap this past week's CRUSA weekly racing and set the stage for this upcoming weekend.
