Young Australian Brad Cox has just recently returned from yet another American trip, where he ran in both the Micro Sprint and ‘360’ Sprintcar classes, and the highlight of the trip was without a doubt his feature race victory in the Micro Sprint class at Greenwood Valley Action Track (Millville, PA) during the PA Micro Sprint Speedweek.
The young teenager made easy work of the field at Greenwood Valley Action Park, where he not only caught but passed USAC Midget gun Brady Bacon who is also a team Chip Ganassi Racing / Kasey Kahne Racing team driver, on his way to victory lane. Despite a number of restarts during the latter stages of the feature race, Bacon was unable to deny Cox a very impressive and dominant victory.
Over the PA Micro Sprint Speedweek, seven race tracks in eight days where there was an average of 90 cars per night, Cox managed to qualify for five out of seven feature races and was unlucky not to taste more feature race podium success. On a number of occasions Cox was in podium contention only to suffer mechanical issues that denied him of such result.
The past two months Cox contested a total of 17 race meetings and his performances throughout the PA Speedweek were the highlight.
Apart from his Micro Sprint commitments, Cox ran the # 9 R&R Fetter Racing Sprintcar for a total of three shows. Although Cox had no previous Sprintcar experience he showed plenty of improvement over the three nights and with more track time will no doubt be more competitive. In regards to next year Cox has secured a full-time Sprintcar drive with the Fetter Racing team
There are also plans for Cox to compete in next year’s CHILI BOWL Midget Nationals (Tulsa, OK) in January.
