Coolbeth Jr. continuing dominant ways in 2015
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 8, 2015) – Few riders in AMA Pro Flat Track’s long history have found the kind of success Kenny Coolbeth Jr. has exhibited throughout the course of his 13-year professional racing career.
Coolbeth’s dominating performances in the premier Harley-Davidson GNC1 presented by Vance & Hines class during the season-opening rounds at Daytona last month indicate he’s not getting any worse with age, in fact the 38-year-old is seemingly getting better.
Coolbeth began the 2015 season by earning the Round 1 Dash for Cash victory at Daytona FLAT TRACK on March 12, after he recorded a fast lap time of 17.881 seconds. Though Coolbeth went on to finish third in the main event later that evening, he knew he had another shot the following day, as Daytona is the only track on the 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track schedule to feature back-to-back events.
Coolbeth took full advantage on March 13, as he secured his first GNC1 main event win of 2015, posting a 6.474-second margin of victory. With the win, Coolbeth left Daytona first in the points with 41, six ahead of Brandon Robinson, who sits second.
Arguably the scariest part about Coolbeth’s game is his ability to win on any kind of track and surface. In 2014, during his first full season with the Zanotti Racing outfit, Coolbeth earned wins on the Short Track at Daytona, on the Half-Mile oval at Knoxville and twice on the Mile at Springfield and Indianapolis.
This season, Coolbeth’s GNC1 Daytona victory was the 35th of his illustrious career, and the Morris, Conn., native will again compete aboard a Zanotti Racing Harley-Davidson next month when the stars of the series face off at the legendary Springfield Mile at the Illinois State Fairgrounds on May 24.
