Fort Smith, Arkansas (December 1, 2014) – During the 2014 racing season, 17-
year-old Cole Rouse competed in the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by
Chevrolet Performance where he finished third in the final Howie Lettow Memorial
Rookie of the Year title chase. He also scored an impressive eighth overall in the
final points standings with three top 10 finishes including an eighth place effort at
the legendary high-banks of Winchester Speedway (IN) over the Labor Day Holiday
Weekend on August 31st.
The 2014 racing season isn't quite over just yet for the Fort Smith, Arkansas driver
as he and his Cole Rouse Racing Team have joined forces with two-time ARCA/
CRA Super Series Powered by JEGS Champion, Travis Braden and Rouse will
pilot Braden's Pro Late Model that the West Virginia native steered to victory lane
at Winchester in the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour portion of the 43rd Running of the
Winchester 400 Weekend. Together they will race in the Snowflake 100 at Five
Flags Speedway (FL) with Rouse climbing behind the wheel of the winning
machine.
"We're so excited to be going to the Snowball Derby. To have the chance at
working with (Crew Chief) Gary St Amant one of the best crew chiefs out in the
late model world today." The excited teenager stated. "All of us really want to
thanks Travis Braden, Don Braden and everyone on that team for the opportunity
and to drive a great piece. Travis has won multiple races in the no. 01 car, but for
the Snowflake it will be the no. 20 car and I hope we can do the same this
weekend." He added.
"We are hopeful to give Cole the best chance as possible to perform well in our
Pro Late Model. It will be the first time working together," Added Travis Braden
who along-with his Father, Don Braden, will play the role of Car Owners for the
Snowflake 100. "But this car has run very well over the past two years in crate
races and we are going to do the same thing we always do as a crew, for him and
I believe that can get him into the show. At that point we will get a chance to see
what the young driver can do on one of the biggest races he has run so far." He
added.
For the Snowflake 100 Weekend, Rouse will be running a renumbered #20 Travis
Braden Motorsports / Chevrolet with sponsorship support from Rouse Custom
