Interesting tidbit from DirtOnDirt about Smith fielding a car for someone for the races in Arizona in January and possibly longer. Wonder who it will be? Said it could/should be breaking this week.

I hate being that guy. But if what I heard is true, it will be ground breaking. I want to see it with my own eyes first, so I’m not saying anything.

Well...no offense to Bradsher, but that would not be groundbreaking imho.

Groundbreaking:
Pierce
Owens
Fergy
A big name from sprints going to DLM
Birky (can't see it)

Minor Tremor:
Ziegler
Bronson
VanWormer
McCool
Old Man Moran
Boggs

This place used to die after the world finals til February. Thankfully we got the dome race and Arizona to keep it alive.

In a few weeks, it definitely be kicking full tilt.

T Mac?I doubt McCreadie will be driving a dirt late model at Arizona in January. At least not after the 8th of January. Pretty sure Tim will be driving the #47 midget car for Andy Bondio at the biggest dirt race of the year.

I know his name is tainted to most on this board now but I'll still say that Zack Dohm makes the most sense for this ride. He's young and did something no other driver in the country did this year by running top 10 at 4 of the biggest races of the year: World 100, Dream, DTWC, and the North/South. Plus him and GR have that WV connection

What WV connection? GR is from New Jersey but currently resides in North Carolina.

Not really sure there's a connection there but I guess the poster is saying there is one because GR went to West Virginia University. Zack didn't go to WVU so I'm not sure there's anything there....

Can't argue that.Bad luck happens a lot of times from lack of preparation.A lot of people seem to want to help him out,but too much help can be a bad thing.Everyone thinks someone else took care of something.1 or 2 crew members is all that need to touch a car at the track.

If I remember right a few months ago when Donald McIntosh announced he was leaving the Blount Motorsports ride so he could run a national tour in 2018 I'm thinking McIntosh's name is coming soon to either the Dunn Benson or GR Smith car.
