Brady Smith Storms to Lane 46 Victory at Hartford; Set for Illinois Tripleheader!

(SOLON SPRINGS, WISCONSIN) Brady Smith claimed his second checkered flag of the 2010 racing season in exciting fashion on Friday night, August 27 in his first visit to the Hartford Motor Speedway in Hartford, Michigan! The American Late Model Series (ALMS) sanctioned the 'Lane 46,' which boasted a $4,600 top prize plus a myriad of lap money and bonuses. Brady won his B-Main to earn the nineteenth starting spot in the 46-lap main event. The Solon Springs, Wisconsin native blasted through the field, took the lead on lap twenty-two, and went on to record the $5,700 triumph over Curtis Roberts, Phil Ausra, J.R. Hotovy, and Curt Spalding.

On Saturday evening, August 28, the #2 team traveled south to the Bluegrass Speedway in Bardstown, Kentucky for the annual running of the 'Bluegrass Classic.' The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned the $10,000 to win program and a stellar field of competitors were on hand. Brady qualified well, won his stacked heat race, and later rolled off from the outside of the second row in the A-Main. The driver known as the "Prodigy" hung around up front throughout the 'Bluegrass Classic' and wound up in the fifth position behind only winner Don O'Neal, Mike Marlar, Brian Birkhofer, and Scott Bloomquist. Complete results from both Hartford and Bardstown can be located online at www.dirtondirt.com.

"It was a very good weekend for the Brady Smith Racing team," quoted Brady earlier this week. "I really enjoyed my first trip to Hartford, I guess everyone does when they win, but I liked racing at that place. We broke a drive flange in the heat race, but the car was extremely good in both the B-Main and the feature. Then at Bardstown against a really strong field of cars, we won the heat and ran up front the entire night. Hopefully, we can keep running up front and contend for wins when we travel to Peoria and Fairbury this weekend!"

A tripleheader in the Land of Lincoln will greet the Brady Smith Racing team over the ultra-busy Labor Day holiday weekend. The Peoria Speedway in Peoria, Illinois will kick things off tonight, September 2 with a $5,000 to win UMP DIRTcar Series show. On Friday and Saturday, September 3-4, the action will quickly turn to the Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois. The 'Prairie Dirt Shootout' will pay $5,000 to the winner on Friday night at F.A.L.S., while the historic 'Prairie Dirt Classic' will wrap up the weekend on Saturday evening with a $10,000 top prize. Additional information on these three events can be located at www.peoriaspeedway.com and www.fairburyspeedway.com.
