Brandon Smith
makes it 2 out of 3 with his win in the final night of the
Mid America Modified
Championship
BATESVILLE, Ark. (March 16) –
Brandon Smith added a bookend trophy to his collection in Saturday’s
Mid-America Modified Championship.
Better yet, he added a second $1,500
check to his earnings from over the course of the three-day IMCA
Xtreme Motor Sports Modified special at Batesville Mo tor
Speedway
“After Thursday, as good as we were, I thought we might have a
chance to win again,” said Smith, who enjoyed a long run at the
front before finishing second to Jeff Taylor on Friday. “But these
guys are tough to beat, especially Jeff. You never know how these
races are going to play out.”
Wayne Brooks was third, Jason Wilkey
fourth and Ronnie Jeffrey fifth in the finale.
As had been the case on opening night, Smith drew the outside row
one start, with Taylor on the pole.
They’d swap the front spot early on,
then run side-by-side or bumper-to-bumper for more than 15 circuits.
Smith denied Taylor’s lower line bid while the two ran in lapped
traffic, before the only caution of the night came out with eight to
go.
Sticking with his preferred higher
line, Smith pulled away on the ensuing restart and took the win well
ahead of Taylor, who had his hands full holding off Brooks for
second.
Smith had become eligible for the
2013 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot with his Thursday
night victory.
Feature results – 1. Brandon Smith;
2. Jeff Taylor; 3. Wayne Brooks; 4. Jason Wilkey; 5. Ronnie Jeffrey;

Jeff Taylor
takes the win in night 2 of the Mid America Modified Championship
BATESVILLE, Ark. (March 15) – Jeff
Taylor won both IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified features at
Batesville Motor Speedway’s Mid-America Modified Championship last
March.
He’s now half way toward matching that total at this year’s event.
After emerging with the second spot after a lengthy
side-by-side-by-side battle with Troy Cordes and Adam Maple Friday
night, Taylor passed long-time leader and opening night winner
Brandon Smith following a restart just before midway.
He led the rest of the way, holding off Smith to the $1,500
checkers. Taylor has now won four 2013 Fast Shafts All-Star
Invitational ballot qualifying events, most notably the IMCA
Speedway Motors Super Nationals.
Cordes prevailed in the tussle for third, on a track that stayed
fast all the way around and from top to bottom. Wayne Brooks and
Maple completed the top five.
The Mid-America Modified Championship concludes Saturday with
another $1,500 to win main event.

Mid America Modified Championship Night 1
goes to Brandon Smith
BATESVILLE, Ark. (March 14) – One of
the last cars through the pit gate was first across the finish line
on opening night of Batesville Motor Speedway’s Mid-America Modified
Championship.
Brandon Smith was the $1,500 IMCA
Xtreme Motor Sports Modified feature winner Thursday evening, taking
the checkers close to a straightaway ahead of runner-up Wayne
Brooks.
Smith started outside Jeff Taylor on
the front row, shot to the front at the flagstand and led all 30
laps.
He caught up with the back of the
field on the 10th circuit. Lapped traffic almost became a factor
with 10 to go as Smith had to avoid contact with a slower car
exiting the track.
“We didn’t run away from the field.
We had a very good car but it helped to restart up front,” said
Smith, an IMCA winner for the first time since the 2011 season.
Dallas Everett was third, Taylor
fourth and Jack Sullivan fifth. Taylor had won both Mid-America
Modified features held last year.
“I’ve raced with Jeff a lot of times
over the years. He always races you clean,” said Smith, a late
arrival to the track because of work. “He’s always a contender. I
know he’ll be back on Friday.”
The victory was the sanctioned career sixth for Smith, the newest
addition to the 2013 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot.
Features Friday and Saturday also
pay $1,500 to win.
Pit gates open at 3 p.m. and the grandstand opens at 5:30 p.m. both
days. Hot laps are at 6:30 and racing starts at 7 p.m.
Grandstand admission is $10 for
adults and free for kids 11 and under when accompanying a paying
adult. Pit passes are $30 each night.
Feature results – 1. Brandon Smith;
2. Wayne Brooks; 3. Dallas Everett; 4. Jeff Taylor; 5. Jack
Sullivan; 6. Wendell Wallace; 7. Ronnie Jeffrey; 8. Jeremy Tharp; 9.
Jason Wilkey; 10. Mitchell Galloway; 11. Randy Weaver; 12. Rick
Ingles; 13. Kevin Goben; 14. Gavin Landers; 15. Adam Maple; 16.
Jason Snyder; 17. Brent Hartwick; 18. Drew Armstrong; 19. Andy
Krieger; 20. Bill Pittman; 21. Shawn Knuckles; 22. Greg Waugh; 23.
Troy Cordes; 24. Jordan Turner.
