Cooper had an exceptional 2023 season racing Young Lions. In addition to his success at Nationals, finishing 3rd in Winter Nationals and 2nd at Spring Nationals also had multiple podium finishes at Atlanta Motor Speedway Thursday Thunder, winning the 2023 Young Lions Atlanta Motor Speedway Thursday Thunder Championship.

Cooper moved up to Semi Pro for the 2024 season. Winter Nationals racing in Semi-Pro for the first time was challenging with over 35 cars in the class. Cooper qualified top 5 for multiple races,had a podium finish, and led laps. Unfortunately, he was unable to avoid other drivers incidents and had some finishes that didn't represent what he was truly capable of, ending the week 7th in points.  Spring Nationals in Nashville was a great experience, learned a lot about navigating the Semi Pro division. Cooper ended up tied for 4th in overall points out of over 30 drivers. Cooper ended the 2024 season with 7 wins and multiple podium finishes.

Cooper is a junior in high school and maintains a 4.0 GPA while taking AP College level courses and working toward certifications in Engineering. Cooper is committed to success and works hard to ensure he is able to achieve not only his racing goals but also his educational goals.
