COCHRAN MOTOR SPEEDWAY CRANKS UP THIS WEEKEND – NASCAR CHAMPION BRAD KESLOWSKI WILL COMPETE ON FRIDAY

(Cochran, GA) Cochran Motor Speedway is set to crank up their racing season this Friday and Saturday night. The 3/8ths mile dirt track will host the make-up date for the Gobbler 100 that was rained out last fall on Friday evening with another full show slated for Saturday night. Super Late Model drivers from around the nation will be on hand Friday chasing after the Gobbler 100 top prize of $20,000. Georgia’s Brandon Overton is expected to try and keep his winning ways rolling in 2021. The Evans driver has already picked up big pay days at Cherokee Speedway (Gaffney, SC) and Modoc (SC) Speedway the past two weekends. Cochran Motor Speedway’s double-header weekend will include racing in the Super Late Models, CRUSA Street Stocks, 602 Late Models, Bombers and the Crate Late Model division.

 

Former NASCAR Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski has entered Friday night’s Crate Late Model race.

Keselowski previously competed on dirt in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Eldora Speedway in 2015. He will be in action Friday night with hopes to advancing to the starting lineup for the feature event.
