Lt. Cooney Memorial Race

The Lt. Robert J Cooney Memorial Race at Tri-City Speedway was a success. As race fans honored Police Officers, Firefighters and EMS Professionals various classes of races were held including Super Late Model, Modified, UMP DIRTcar Pro Late Model, UMP DIRTcar Street Stock and UMP DIRTcar 4 Cylinder Factory Stocks.

Bob's daughter Sarah rode in the Pontoon Beach Police Pace Car for several races while Bob's son Sean worked the flag stand from green to checkered for an entire race and made the trophy presentation to the race winner on Victory Lane.

A silent auction of select race merchandise was held and all proceeds were donated to the Cooney Trust Fund.

Thank you to Kevin & Tammy Gundaker (owners of Tri-City Speedway), my Aunt Carolyn & Uncle Gordon and the entire team at Tri-City for all their hard work.

Also, thank you to all of Bob's friends and co-workers that attended. As Richi Moore has said before, Bob is the reason we are all friends today.
