CHILI BOWL A HUGE SUCCESS - posted 20 January, 2010
Today (19 Jan, 2010) BRAD COX is back in school, bathing in the outstanding success he has achieved at this years CHILI BOWL NATIONALS. "Over achieving" is the only way to describe the past week.
With only 8 race laps in a MIDGET, many outsiders thought that COX was crazy to enter the "superbowl" of speedway racing. And yet the young teenage sensation from Gunnedah, AUSTRALIA, who is now residing in Pennsylvania, took on the best speedway drivers in the world, and definately showed he has got the ability to succeed in this demanding sport.
Wednesday night COX past cars in every event, qualifying for the A MAIN, defeating many seasoned professional drivers.
Saturday night found COX starting in the D MAIN, out-qualifying more than 200 of the best drivers in the world. The young Aussie finshed mid field in the D, and had achieved way more than many had expected in his first attempt at the famous event.
BRAD COX MOTORSPORT are now busy negotiating with potential sponsors, and are planning on contesting events thoughout USA in 2010.

COX MAKES 'A MAIN' - posted 16 January, 2010
In his first ever CHILI BOWL event, and a veteran of a total of only 8 laps in the mighty midgets, young Australian teenage sensation BRAD COX drove his way into Wednesday nights “A MAIN” at the famous event.
Starting of the back row of the second heat, Cox managed to work his way into 4th position by the end of the 8 lap journey. 6th highest points scorer after the heat races, COX was scheduled to start his qualifier event from inside the third row. However, unable to engage his rear axle prior to any cars being pushed off, track officials beckoned Cox’s crew to the track to engage the rear. At the amazement of the huge crowd on hand, COX was then relegated to the rear of the field, for receiving assistance, even though not one lap had been turned. Cox showed a cool head and put in an amazing drive to climb from 10th to 5th in the 10 lap qualifier. Now faced with a 6th starting position in the “B” the young Aussie again displayed ability beyond his youth and experience, driving the highline “on the wall” to a well deserved third, thus earning his spot in the “ A MAIN”
With no time to make any significant adjustments or repairs prior to the MAIN EVENT, COX was forced to make the best of what he had, including a bent front axle from the ‘B MAIN’ . Starting from 25th position the talented youngster put on an amazing display, driving into the 15th spot by mid race. However, with his tyres “used up” Cox faded in the closing stages and finished in the 21st position.
This excellent result has earned the young Australian a starting spot in the “D MAIN” on Saturday. “ We had no idea of what to expect, as we had only ever ran 8 laps in a midget” Cox stated after the A MAIN, “but we were hoping to at least make the ‘F MAIN” as this would mean we had beat more than half of the 270 odd cars here. To make the A MAIN was unbelievable, so we are really looking forward to Saturdays events to see if we can climb our way into the MAIN EVENT”
