(Attica, OH) Danny Smith couldn’t wait to get to the Engine Pro Victory Lane at Attica Raceway Park . The Chillicothe , Ohio driver wanted to thank all of the fans who sent him money and cards and words of encouragement after he broke his back at the track on June 18, 2010 in a vicious crash.
He got that opportunity Friday on Fisher Performance/Merrill Lynch/Construction Equipment and Supply Night, leading all 30 laps of the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprint feature for his 10th career Attica victory. Smith made some daring moves in lapped traffic, splitting two cars in turns three and four on several occasions to take the Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title (FAST) Championship Series sanctioned event.
“I finally get the opportunity to stand here and thank all you great fans from Ohio…heck, all the fans from across the United States and Australia who sent me money and cards and supported me and my family when I couldn’t race,” said Smith, grinning from ear to ear beside his J&D Performance, Dean Knittle & Sons Auto, Smalley Excavating, Kiger Signs backed #4. “You people will never know how much it meant to me. It was one of my goals this year to get at least one win so I could stand out here and thank everyone.”
“I have to thank my wife, Stephanie…she’s a nurse and she took great care of me. I’m not 100 percent in shape yet, but I feel great and this really helps,” Smith added. “It’s been since 1995 since I won here and I wanted this bad tonight. Everything went our way…I got a good pill draw for the heat and a good starting spot in the feature.”
