Cooper had the best weekend of his rookie 450MX season a week ago, and about racing this Saturday at the Tennessee National, he said, “The next two rounds coming up are two of my favorites of the series, but I have to give Muddy Creek the nod because of the hometown crowd. I grew up racing this track, and the fans always show up big-time for this event! My first-ever professional win was there, and I hope to add to that this weekend!”
