Dustin Smith at Waynesfield By Blake Lirette
With the pits full and the sun shining bright, three classes fired off at Waynesfield Motorsports Park this Saturday and by 10:30 that evening everyone was on their way home to sleep off a great night of racing.
Up first for the evening were our Non-Wing Sprints and taking the prelim victories were Joss Moffett, Zac Osborn, Luke Hall, and Dustin Smith. With the feature lined up showing Dustin Smith and last week’s winner Matt Westfall on the front row the excitement had built into a frenzy. Shooting out into an early lead Dustin Smith had the 54 of Matt Westfall just behind looking for the leader to make a mistake. Five laps in the feature Johnny Heydenreich tested the front stretch wall for the first time checking to see how sturdy it was. Nine laps in Matt Westfall was right behind the 77S of Dustin Smith when Brent Smith spun in turn two slowing the action down for just a moment. Behind the top-two were Zac Osborn, Mike Miller, and Joss Moffett. Right at the drop of the green flag Zac Osborn’s motor stumbled dropping him to seventh in the running order moving everyone else further up towards the front. The second half of the race though went much like the first as Dustin Smith pulled away from the rest of the field negotiating traffic better than anyone else. In the end it was Dustin Smith, Matt Westfall, Mike Miller, Corey Smith, and Joss Moffett rounding out the top-five.
“My daughter Madison was here tonight and after last week she wouldn’t talk to me the whole way home after when I didn’t win so I really wanted to make her happy.” “This is also the first time she has got to see me win so it makes it even more special.” The track was a little rough tonight in the heats but they had it just right come feature time.” “I need to thank Shearer Printing for the hero cards they printed this week and Smith Racing for all of the support I get from my Mom and Dad.”
