AMSOIL late model driver Brady Smith invaded the Farley Speedway in Farley, Iowa last weekend for the annual 'Yankee Dirt Track Classic.'
The two-day spectacular paid $10,000 to win and Smith started out the weekend by posting the fastest lap during qualifying on Friday night. After finishing fifth in his heat race, the Solon Springs, Wis. native rolled off from the outside of the fifth row for the 100-lap main event on Saturday.Despite the track locking down halfway through the 'Yankee Classic,' Smith was still able to pass nine cars en route to a seventh place effort at the 1/2-mile speed plant.
Smith heads to Knoxville, Iowa this weekend to defend his late model victory at the Knoxville Late Model Nationals. The three day event is a crown jewel of the late model racing season and offers up a pair of $7,000 to win races on Thursday and Friday night before culminating with a $40,000 purse on Saturday night. Smith has five wins in 2008 in 44 chances, and 11 top five finishes.Until then, we'll see you at the races.
