All Star Late Model SeriesCHILLICOTHE, OH (4-30-11) By Brian Liskai Danny Smith may end up in medical journals. The Indiana native who now calls Chillicothe, Ohio home, hurt his back last June in a violent sprint car crash and spent the rest of the summer and all winter recuperating from surgery under the care of his wife, Stephanie. Smith sent notice this weekend that he will once again be a force to be reckoned with, winning both races he competed in Friday at Attica Raceway Park, and Saturday at The Classic at KC Raceway.

“A little less than a year ago… June 18 I was laying in the hospital with a broken back, wondering what I was gonna do in the future and wondering if I would ever drive again. Fans from all over pitched in and helped me out with money and prayers. This race is for all of you. I appreciate it and dedicate this win to you, said Smith to the huge, adoring crowd.

The first race of the year for the O Reilly Auto Parts Midwest All Star Sprint Series was forth $3,000 for Smith.

In the third annual 40-lap $4,000-to-win Classic for the O Reilly Auto Parts All Star Late Models, the Salt Rock Express, Eddie Carrier Jr. (Salt Rock, W. Va.) blitzed the field for the victory.

I drew that eight (pill) and thought oh no my job just got harder. We ve had some bad luck lately, so maybe this will turn it around. We will just keep a diggin and working harder and see what happens. It s good to be here in victory lane, said an elated Carrier who has had a series of double-digit wins over the past eight years at KC Raceway.

“I’d like to thank Grover Motorsports and Engines Inc. and my Dad. He and I were THE crew tonight and Dad worked really hard to help get us here, added Carrier.

The evening began when Donnie Moran came with thirteen-hundredths of Jackie Boggs’ 10-year-old track record during qualifications. Numerous other cars timed in the mid 13 second bracket as the cool afternoon locked down moisture early on the fast 3/8 mile speed plant.

Pinconning, Michigan s Jeep VanWormer led the late model field to the green with former World 100 winner Matt Miller to his outside. VanWormer blasted into the lead ahead of Miller and Zach Dohm, however, “Insane Duane”
Chamberlain grabbed everyone s attention with his high-flying machine as he grabbed second on lap six. Eighth place starter Carrier quickly stormed up to fourth.

A caution for Josh McGuire on lap eight bunched up the field for the Delaware-style restart. This allowed Carrier to storm into third. Meanwhile Mark Frazier, Jason Montgomery, and R.J. Conley battled hard for fifth place.

VanWormer caught lapped traffic by the 16th circuit as Chamberlain and Carrier continued their tremendous battle for second.

VanWormer s run at the top would end on lap 17. During a caution for a stalled Chad Smith, the leader exited the speedway with mechanical problems, handing the lead to Richmond, Indiana s Chamberlain.

But, Chamberlain s lead wouldn t last long. On the restart, Carrier won the drag race into the first corner to take the lead while Jason Montgomery leap-frogged two spots into fourth.

R.J. Conley, Mark Frazier, and Boom Briggs came together on lap 20, sending Frazier helplessly down the front chute backwards. The rest of the field continued in evasive fashion setting up the third restart.

Chamberlain suffered a flat during caution and did not return.

Montgomery stalked Carrier as they worked through traffic, allowing R.J.
Conley to close with four laps to go. At the 37 lap mark Montgomery drove to within three car lengths, but Carrier’s Ford had just a little too much punch to claim the win over Montgomery who won the last All Star feature at K-C in the Halloween 50 in October.

R.J. Conley, Rod Conley and Matt Miley would round out the top five.

Millersburg, Ohio s Rob Chaney would take the lead at the drop of the green in the 30-lap sprint feature with Kyle Sauder in tow. Sauder and fifth place starter Danny Smith would engage in a torrid side-by-side battle for the runner-up spot over the next 10 laps.

Chaney, aboard the Bryan Grove owned machine, would set a blistering pace, encountering lapped traffic by the sixth circuit.

By the half-way mark, Smith would finally bag second just as Sheldon Haudenschild jumped the cushion and flipped hard off turn three. Little Haud was okay, but the crash inspired dad Jac, who would challenge the rest of the way for the win.

A lap and a caution for a Todd Kane spin would once again bunch up the field with Chaney leading Smith, Jac Haudenschild and Greg Wilson. On the restart, it was time for Smith to take command as the 54-year-old vaulted into the lead.

Smith, who owns 30 career All Star Circuit of Champion wins and 10 World of Outlaw victories, would pull away for the victory. Chaney, Jac Haudenschild, Wilson, and Jared Ridge would round out the top five.
