PRO NITROUS

The final round in Switzer Dynamics Pro Nitrous presented by MoTeC was like a repeat of the final round from the Dallas race in May when Jay Cox defeated Stevie “Fast” Jackson. This time, Jackson gave away the race on the starting line when he left too soon. Cox was ready for a race, though, as he laid down a 3.75 at 199.29.

“I like racing Stevie. He’s a great guy. I really get pumped up when I’m running against him. I like all of his guys that work with him. I enjoy it. It’s just a good old country boy hoedown when me and him get up there. You never know what’s going to happen.”

While no one knew what was going to happen, it was safe to assume the pair of orange 1969 Camaros would put on a close race. After all, Cox drove his Charlie Buck Racing Engines-powered Bryant Industrial Crane & Rigging entry to prior round wins over Pro Nitrous hitters Jason Harris, Tommy Franklin, and Lizzy Musi before facing Jackson.

“Man, it’s huge.” Cox said of his second consecutive victory. “We fought this thing all year last year. Before you can win, you’ve gotta’ learn how not to lose. That’s the biggest thing. We learned a lot in Dallas. In Dallas we hurt this motor and I should’ve lost. I really didn’t deserve to win. Tonight, that’s probably the biggest thing I was proud of. We stayed with our game plan, kept the motor happy, and didn’t hurt nothing.”
