A quick wrap-up for the weekend, more details to follow....Clint ran 5th in the consolation race on Saturday night at Bulls Gap and went on to win his consolation race. Pretty much finishing where he started, Clint scored in at 18th for a disappointing night. The team made their way to Gaffney, SC for Sunday's March Madness event. A beter afternoon was on tap. A past winner of the event, the team continues to get used to and tweak on the new Rocket Chassis bringing home another top 10 event by finishing the night in 9th. Updated weekend plans! Clint has made a mid week decision to make the trip to Bulls Gap, Tennessee for the Lucas Oil Spring Thaw Saturday night. Clint will then make the trek to Gaffney, South Carolina for the Lucas Oil event at Cherokee Speedway on Sunday. Plans for next weekend to Boyds Speedway in Ringgold, GA and Cleveland Speedway in Cleveland, TN. 3/1/10: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: All three were a part of Clint's weekend at some point in time. Starting with the automobiles, Clint made his way to Bardstown, KY to participate in and celebrate with good friend and fellow World of Outlaws driver, Steve Francis' marriage to Amanda Ferrell....thus the "trains". Steve and Amanda's wedding was beautiful and Clint and family were proud to participate in their happy day and wish them well for a lifetime of happiness. On to the planes ....while the East Coast was digging out from the weekend snow storm, airports were backed up across the country. Clint's morning effort to catch a plane back to Atlanta early Sunday morning and then make the drive over to Gasden, AL for the Bama Bash then became quite the challenge. The family arrived at the Louisville airport early hoping for the first flight out, instead they sat at the airport until mid-morning when as luck would have it they caught the 2nd flight out. Clint immediately left straight from the Atlanta airport and headed for the Bash. Taking a provisional afforded to past winners, Clint started 28th. Passing throughout the well prepared track, Clint managed to make his way through the field to 6th place, however, while challenging Bub McCool for 5th place, the two tangled sending smoke flying from tires and getting Clint out of shape. There was damage to the right side of the CSR Rocket for the final laps but Clint managed to hang on to the now ill handling car to 6th place finish. The team is however pleased with the first top 10 finish of 2010 in the new Rocket Chassis and have a continued growing confidence that the new program and racing package is moving in the right direction. Next on the calendar is Saturday, March 6, 2010 at Cleveland Speedway, Cleveland, TN for the season opener and as a prep for the upcoming Shamrock. Please keep in mind that based on a number of factors, the schedule could change all the way up to race day. We hope to see you at the track. 2/25/10: 2010 racing is now underway. Clint Smith and team has rolled out the season in a new chassis. During the off season, Clint decided to switch to the Rocket Chassis. Clint, who ran a Rocket during a select few events at the end of 2009, says he feels good about the change and hopes to greatly improve upon a disappointing 2009. The team decided to forego the shows at Brunswick and East Bay in order to finish up the new car. However, the Clint did take some practice laps around The New Senoia Speedway before heading to Florida. Senoia has gone back to dirt this year, much to the delight of Clint, team, and family. Senoia is not only the home base of CSR but is where Clint grew up racing. The
Cat Daddy kicked off the his 2010 season last week at the popular
Volusia Raceway Park. Night 1 was a bit on the frustrating side
as working out the "new car blues" was the issue at
hand and out off the over 60+ cars on hand, Clint only managed
to put a 17th place finish in the books.
