popular win for the super late model veteran
Naples ME (7/13) Gary Smith didn’t lead a lot of laps in Tuesday night’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North 200 at Lee (NH) USA Speedway but he took the battle to defending series champion Johnny Clark and put his Bud and Rays/Uncle Henry’s ride out front with five to go to score his first Pro All Stars Series win in eleven seasons of trying. Donnie Whitten got by Clark at the checkers for second, and Clark crossed the stripe third.
Early on it was all Joey Pole. Pole grabbed the lead from Matt Frahm at the initial green and the pair took off with defending race winner Mike Rowe in Paul Watts 2x giving chase. That was the order at lap fifty and it stayed that way until the first caution flew at lap 71 for Bryan Cruszek’s wall slapper, ending his solid top ten run.

A Reverse Revolution
KANNAPOLIS, N.C., (July 13, 2011) – The American Revolution was a result of 13 colonies banding together to break free of the British Empire to become the United States of America. New England was a primary stage for many of the battles from 1775 to 1783 as patriots fought for their independence, with one of the initial salvos taking place near Portsmouth, N.H., in December 1774 when the “Sons of Liberty” raided Fort William and Mary and captured 15 cannons and more than five tons of gunpowder.

The Karts had raced the day before Levi finished 2nd behind Austin, So I asked him is it his turn to win today?
