Smith Wins at Waynesfield
By Blake Lirette
Second class for the evening would be the Non-Wing Sprint and with rain all around in the state of Indiana a few of the regulars from other tracks came to play nice with our own guys that race weekly at Waynesfield. Taking the early ten lap wins were Corey Smith, Shane Cottle, Jon Stanbrough, and Dustin Smith.
Starting on the front row would be Dustin Smith and Jon Stanbrough and the fight for $1200 started early with Jon streaking out to the early lead over Corey Smith who wanted to protect his “home turf”. One lap in Zac Osborn stopped on the front stretch fearing he was on fire getting out of the car quickly, luckily he wasn’t. The top-five at this point was Jon Stanbrough, Corey Smith, Dustin Smith, Shane Cottle, and Joss Moffatt. After the race restarted Jon continued his lead with Corey staying close the whole time and brother Dustin having his own battle with Shane Cottle for the third spot. At the half-way mark the 14 of Stanbrough began to pull away looking like the 23rd win of the season was just ten laps away. Corey Smith, and for that matter Dustin and Shane Cottle as well were having an easier time in lapped traffic and that brought them back up to the leader along with some hard driving. Then the storyline was set, 18 laps in the feature the 26 of Cody White stopped in turn one with a flat left rear and third place Dustin Smith had contact with him nearly ending his night as well.
The top-five at this point was still Jon Stanbrough, Corey Smith, Dustin Smith, Shane Cottle, and Joss Moffatt. With the white flag in hand Jon pushed up in turn three giving Corey Smith, who hounded Jon the entire race, the needed space for the lead. Drag racing down the front stretch the Smith machine took the lead and then the win. The rest of the top-five were Stanbrough, Shane Cottle, Dustin Smith, and Joss Moffatt.
“I really wanted this win tonight.” “I had the whole family here, my wife, son, and daughter and we got rained out at Cedar Point yesterday.” “The track was really fast and racy tonight.” “Big thanks to Smith Racing and Shearer Business Products for their help this year!”
