Smith Records Fifth Win at Deer Creek

AMSOIL late model driver Brady Smith racked up his fifth victory of 2008 last Saturday night, (August 30), at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.

Smith sported a fast car all night, as he won his heat race and the dash to earn the pole position for the $5,000 to win World Dirt Racing League (WDRL) main event. The Solon Springs, Wis. native then swapped the lead on several occasions with Chris Simpson during the 40-lap A-Main before guiding his AMSOIL race car to the win ahead of Chris Simpson, Chad Simpson, Justin Fegers, and Eric Pember. The WDRL triumph was the second straight series victory for Smith as he also won the rain-postponed 'Masters' back on August 1 at the Cedar Lake Speedway.

Smith is headed to Rossburg, Ohio this week for the famed "World 100" at the Eldora Speedway. More than 120 of the North America's top dirt late model drivers will battle for the $41,000 payday on September 5-6. Smith finished 15th in his first World 100 A-Main in 2007.

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