Brady Smith of Solon Springs, WI powered past Darren
Miller on a lap 20 restart and never looked back as he
scored his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series
win on Saturday Night at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway.
Smith in his AMSOIL/Vic Hill Racing Engines/Bloomquist
Race Cars Monte Carlo earned $9,999 for his win in the
Third Annual "99" extravaganza.
Smith's win allowed him to become the eighth different
winner in the first 12 Lucas Oil Series events in 2008.
Billy Drake of Bloomington, IL, who took a series provisional
charged all the way from the tail to finish second followed
by Darren Miller of Chadwick, IL, Steve Casebolt of Richmond,
IN and series point's leader Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville,
FL who finished fifth despite racing with a fractured
right wrist.
Bart Hartman led the first lap until Miller, who was
driving a Billy Moyer Victory Circle Chassis for just
the second time this year, passed him for the lead on
lap two. Miller then led until Smith, who started third,
made a mad dash to the point passing Miller on a lap 20
restart. [MORE] |
