Smith Wins WDRL Event

Brady Smith and his AMSOIL #2 team collected their second win of the 2007 racing season last weekend at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn. Smith was eighth quickest in World Dirt Racing League (WDRL) Series group qualifying and later ran second in his heat race. After a third place finish in the pole dash, the Solon Springs, Wisc. native rolled off third for the $5,000 to win A-Main. Smith moved up to second shortly following the drop of the green flag and set his sights on race leader Justin Fegers. Smith then moved past Fegers for the point in heavy lapped traffic and never looked back. At the conclusion of the 50-lapper, Smith had earned the big payday ahead of Denny Eckrich, Eric Pember, and Adam Hensel.

One night earlier, Smith found himself at the Farmer City Raceway in Farmer City, Illinois for the 'Farmer City 50.' Smith finished third in his competitive heat race to earn the eleventh starting spot for the $5,000 to win feature. During the course of the A-Main, which was shortened to only 40 laps, Smith was able to pass seven cars en route to a fourth place performance behind winner Dennis Erb, Wes Steidinger, and Billy Moyer.

Smith will be at the Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio for the World 100 on Friday and Saturday.

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