MURRAY SECOND IN SANDOWN SUNDAY RACE

Cooper Murray rebounded from a tough Saturday to finish second in Sunday’s Super2 Race at Sandown Raceway. 

Saturday marked a day to forget for Murray, with tyre pressure issues in qualifying making it a very difficult day taking off from P18. 

Although the track was declared wet well in advance of the race start, all 23 cars started on dry tyres with a dry line forming on the racing line, and the race would run without rain.

Throughout the race, Murray pushed forward despite lengthy delays with two safety cars and moved up 5 spots to finish P13 in Race 7. 

On Sunday, Murray recovered well in Qualifying and began Race 8 from the second row in P3.

As the lights went out, Murray had a great start off of the line and shot into P2.

He would go on to later challenge for the race lead in his #88 Flair Dancewear Commodore in the final green flag stage at Turn 11, but ultimately crossed the line in second.  

"Saturday was a day to forget, tyre pressure issues in qualifying made it a very difficult day. Luckily on Sunday we got another chance and to finish second in the race was a good recovery. Massive thank you again to Flair Dancewear and Page Bros RV for the support this weekend!”
