Practice was cancelled on Friday April 9^th due to the rainy weather. We are currently scheduled for this coming Friday again to get some practice time in and shake the car down.

The website now has an upgraded gallery section that is much more user friendly and easier to navigate through…. “Finally”!!   Also the archives have been fixed in the news section so you can go back to 2008 and up. This has been a work in progress for some time now and we glad to have it up and working.

It’s hard to believe that the 2010 race season is here and so is the warm weather in the East. It has been announced that Lauren will be driving for a very established Brit Andersen Motorsports Team. The team has worked hard over the winter months to prepare the car and upgrading it to all the new rules for this season. The roles of the owner and driver will both be new to each of them. Brit stepping out of his S.K. Light as a driver to being an owner, but also moving up to the very competitive S.K. Modified ranks driving for Doug DiPisa and Prestige Motorsports. Brit will have dual roles at the track on Friday nights as well as competing for rookie of the year honors. Brit’s last few seasons driving full size stock cars will serve him well in such a competitive class as was shown in the Fall Final at Stafford Motor Speedway in 2009. Brit’s role as owner will be solely based on getting his driver on track knowledge. Every young driver needs the voice of experience to help guide them from time to time. Lauren looks forward to working with Brit and Co-owner Stash Butova to gain that knowledge. This will be the first time Lauren will be driving for someone else other than her family.  Even though the faces will be different when Lauren pulls into her pit stall she can feel the voice of experience is there to guide her. The team will hit the track Friday April 9^th for their first practice of the season. It will be great chance for the team to work together and shake the car down. Lauren looks forward to this season as a chance to show what she is really capable of with the right equipment and a full crew. Lauren and the Team are also looking forward to the Spring Sizzler Sunday Pit Party as chance to meet the fans.

The 2010 race season brings some very exciting news for Lauren Cooper Racing. Lauren was asked to drive for Brit Andersen Motorsports – Brit Andersen car owner and Stash Butova co-owner of the #70 S.K. Light Modified at Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford Springs, CT. She will be taking over the driver responsibility from Brit Andersen who drove the car to 13 feature wins in just three seasons and is always at the top of the speed charts. Lauren knows that she will have some big shoes to fill, but she also feels very confident that she will be behind the wheel of a race car that can win each and every week. That is something that she has yet to experience since moving up from karting into racing full size cars. It has been a struggle over the last three years of racing; Lauren has been a rookie for those last three years, racing in a new division and a different style race car each year. The crew was also comprised of rookies and that led to ill handling cars and a lot of mechanical issues as well. This will be the first season that Lauren will be running the full season and she has set some goals for herself and her new team. Lauren intends to win a few races this year, contend for a track championship, and win the Most Popular Driver Award (she has been in the running the last two years).

Lauren and her new team will be hitting the track early this year getting an extra practice in on April 9^th and then the open practice on April 17^th. That will lead into the opening weekend of the 39^th annual Tech Net Spring Sizzler Weekend scheduled for April 23-25.

Anyone wishing to follow Lauren and her race teams season can do so by checking her highly successful website www.laurencooperracing.com the website has surpassed 120,000 unique views in a little over a year and half. Lauren also has a fan club on facebook under Lauren Cooper Racing where you can chat with Lauren on a daily basis.

Lauren was unable to make the Frank Maratta’s Auto Show this Saturday due the flu. She deeply regrets missing this opportunity to meet her fans and her chance to compete in the pit crew challenge. It was an honor for Laurens mom to step in for her and compete in the pit crew challenge. Check out the pics in Lauren’s Gallery. The team named “Five Woman Wrenching” competed at a best time of 43:53 seconds. The five team members included: Heather DesRochers (Driver S.K.Lights) , Erica Santos (Driver S.K.Lights), (Renee Dupuis (Modified Tour), Renea Topp (Marketing Manager Lime Rock Park), and of course Deb Cooper (Lauren’s Mom)

Thanks to Mark Hann of Victory Motorsports for putting the pit crew challenge together. It was a blast to watch and I’m sure the wining team of Woody Pitkat will enjoy the $500.00 that they won. Congrats to them! Hope to see you there next year.

Driving a race car isn’t the only thing that Lauren Cooper is serious about. Lauren has proven to be very serious about her studies in college as well. There were many times at the races when you would find Lauren at her trailer with her books studying in between jumping in and out of the race car. All that hard work has paid off for her freshman semester at Western Connecticut State College where Lauren is majoring in marketing. It is quite an accomplishment considering that most freshman tend to struggle their first year of college.
