Danny Smith Survives A Wild Affair Takes Checkers For The Second Straight Week
John Lemon OCRS Public Relations
Meeker Oklahoma (June 28, 2013) – In night that saw crash after crash
after crash, it was the cagy veteran, Danny Smith, that emerged as the
ultimate survivor in the 25-lap affair at the Brill Motor Speedway in
the Oil Capital Racing Series non-wing sprint car event. As humid and
hot as the night was, tempers throughout the combatants were prevalent
as well.
Smith would start tenth in his Same Day Auto Repair
/ Dyno Services of Oklahoma / XXX railed sprinter and was one of but a
few drivers to patiently work both the track and the field on his way to
becoming the second driver in the series to win multiple main events.
Harli White has three wins.

It was non wing specialist Cody
Brewer getting a jump on the 20 car field at the start in the Napa Auto
Parts / Kens Automotive / John Smith Chevy / XXX car. Brewer would lead
the first four trips around the red 3/8-mile oval until Koby Barksdale
would work his way past Brewer going into turn one to start the fifth
lap.
The first yellow of the race would fly on lap six when
point leader White would spin to a stop in turns three and four. On the
restart, Kyle Clark would get crossed up in turn four and a wild carnage
would take place as the cars of Alex Sewell and Kade Morton would flip
through the air and Brian (B-Mac) McClelland would plow into Clark’s
machine. Everyone would be OK but Sewell, Morton and Clark would have to
head pitside while B-Mac would restart at the rear.
Smith
would restart in the fourth spot but he didn’t care to stay there as he
shot into second as the leaders went through turn two and found himself
looking at the bumper of Barksdale. A lap later, the yellow hanky would
fall again as Tim Kent, who was in the Kevin and Dena Risley #24 mount
for the evening, would spin in turn two.

Smith took the lead
from Barksdale going down the backstretch of lap seven. The yellow was
displayed another time when Sulpher’s Chuck Bellefeuille spun on the
backstretch and T. Kent would spin to a stop as well in turn four. The
next restart would see Johnny “Hotrod” Kent pass Tri-State Speedway
feature winner Alex Decamp for the fourth spot in turn one. Working the
start of lap eleven, J. Kent would slide by Barksdale at the flagstand.
The next lap saw DeCamp take a stab at j. Kent down low and the two cars
made contact with each executing 360 spins and each motoring on.
However, the yellow still flew as Fred Mattox lost a u-joint while
coming down the front straight and rolled to a stop in turn one. Robert
Sellers would stop in turn two behind the spinning duo of Decamp and
Kent.
J. Kent overtook Barksdale for the runner-up spot on
the backstretch during the restart of lap 12. Two laps latter, White and
McClelland would have contact with one another that left White stopped
in turn four. McClelland would be black flagged as he was cited for
rough driving. White would restart at the rear yet again.
White was working her way through the field and by lap 17, she was back
up to fifth. On lap 19, White nudged her way past Brewer in turn one for
the fourth position. While Smith was sailing along, J. Kent and Decamp
were in a heated battle for second. DeCamp would move Past J. Kent with
two laps to go while White would get by J. Kent at the line to start the
last lap.
Smith held tough for his back-to-back triumph
with Decamp second in the Morton Excavating / STK Racing Engines /
Eagle. White, by virtue of starting eleventh originally and then going
to the rear twice passed more cars than seen in sometime in one feature
event for the third spot in her Jerry Tucker Roustabout / Terraco Soil
Farming / Boyd Racing Engines / Maxim. “Hotrod” brought the Kent
Construction / Care Family Medical / Kent Engines / Eagle in for fourth
with the top five being rounded out by Cody Brewer.

Ahhhhh
there's a Smiley's banner. A proud sponsor of the OCRS sprint car
series. Casey Wills is trying to figure out if those are sixes or nines
in the phone number. He found out they were sixes and walked away OK from his number checking.
