The AMSOIL Brady Smith Racing team trekked south to Iowa and Illinois last weekend for a pair of high-profile Dirt Late Model events and came away with some impressive results.
Their weekend kicked off on Friday night at the Farley Speedway in Farley, Iowa. A $10,000 top prize was up for grabs in the 'Banner Valley Hauling 50.' Smith ran third in his heat race and started the 50-lap main event from the outside of the fifth row. Smith had a great run during the A-Main, as he passed four cars en route to a sixth place finish.The dirt-slinging action quickly turned to the LaSalle Speedway in LaSalle, Ill. on Saturday for another $10,000 to win show. Smith won his heat race, which earned him a coveted starting spot up front in the 50-lap 'Spring Shootout.' The Solon Springs, Wis. native led on two different occasions during the A-Main at the 1/4-mile bullring before settling for an impressive runner-up effort to winner Tim McCreadie.
Smith will take place in the Show-Me 100 at the West Plains Motor Speedway in West Plains, Mo. on Friday and Saturday night. The two-day event showcases a $42,000 to win payday. Smith will also be at the Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Ill. on Sunday for the Fed-Ex 50.
Just a reminder that the AMSOIL Late Model Series will kick off its ninth year of racing this Friday night in Superior, Wis. The six-race series brings in $17,000 to win and returning champions Darrell Nelson and Pat Doar will be on hand Friday night.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
