Smith Wins Knoxville Nationals

Team AMSOIL Late Model driver Brady Smith picked up his biggest career victory on Saturday night at the Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. Smith started sixth in the 4th Annual 'Knoxville Late Model Nationals' and quickly made his way to the front of the stellar field. After a crowd-pleasing duel back and forth with Billy Moyer during the first half of the race, Smith set sail around the famed 1/2-mile oval for the second half of the 100 lap feature. The driver of the AMSOIL Monte Carlo lapped up to sixth place and survived a late race caution to bring home the $35,000 top prize. The high-profile mega event was taped by the cameras of the SPEED Channel for viewing on Saturday night, October 6.

Earlier in the three-day weekend at Knoxville, Smith team competed in a pair of $6,000 to win feature events. On Thursday, he won his heat race and wound up tenth in the 25-lap feature. The following night saw the talented Wisconsin native finish third behind race winner Brian Shirley and runner-up Moyer.

Smith continues is 2007 tour with a pair of WDRL late model races at the Davenport Speedway in Davenport, Iowa starting on Friday night.

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