Smiths Triumphs at Masters

Team AMSOIL Late Model driver Brady Smith recorded his fourth win of the 2008 racing season on Friday night, August 1 at the renowned Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis.

The rain-postponed 'Masters' event from June took place last Friday at CLS with a $5,000 top prize was up for grabs. In front of a jam-packed grandstand, Smith started from the pole position for the 50-lap affair and withstood a strong challenge from Ashley Anderson. At the completion of 50 green flag laps around the 3/8-mile speedway, Smith found himself in victory lane celebrating his exciting 'Masters' triumph over Anderson, Jimmy Mars, Scott Gilberts, and Nick Anvelink.

In addition to the rain-postponed 'Masters,' the AMSOIL team also competed in three more Dirt Late Model events from July 30-August 2. Smith finished eighth and 25th in a pair of WDRL events in Superior and New Richmond, Wis. Despite running inside the top ten at the $50,000 to win 'USA Nationals' at Cedar Lake on Saturday, Smith finished 23rd after mechanical problems dropped him out of contention.

Smith is scheduled to race at the Florence (Ky) Speedway on August 8-9.

Until then, we'll see you at the races.
