Team AMSOIL late model driver Brady Smith was back in action with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series last week, as the Wild West Tour kicked-off with a pair of events in Minnesota and North Dakota.
On Wednesday, July 8, the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn. played host to the annual 'Gopher 50.' Smith qualified tenth quickest in WOOLMS time trials and later finished second in his competitive heat race. After drawing the pole position for the $10,000 to win main event, Smith lost his brakes early in the race and faded to a fourteenth place finish.
Following a day off, the AMSOIL team returned to competition on July 10 at the River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. Smith once again timed in tenth fastest in qualifying before running second in heat race action. The Solon Springs, Wis. native later passed two cars in the $10,000 to win A-Main at River Cities to finish third in the final rundown behind winner Josh Richards and runner-up Jimmy Mars.
Smith currently sits sixth in the latest version of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series points battle following River Cities. Smith will be at the Dakota State Fair (SD) Speedway on July 16.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
