Brandon Smith Snares Win in COMP Cams Midsouth Dirt Track Championship



by Ben Shelton
WEST MEMPHIS, Arkansas (September 28) – The COMP Cams Super Dirt Series (CCSDS) concluded their 2013 season on Saturday evening with a trip to Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, Arkansas) for the 7th Annual COMP Cams Midsouth Dirt Track Championship, and it was who Brandon Smith, who put a bookend on the season with the $2,000 win!

2011 CCSDS Champion, Brandon Smith from Floral, Arkansas, overcame a battle with Ashley Newman, a heavy track, and lapped traffic to claim his second series' victory of the 2013 season on Saturday at the historic, 1/4 mile oval.

Via preliminary action Smith earned the pole position for the feature with Ashley Newman joining him on the front row for the 35 lap finale. As the caution-plagued race went green it was Newman, who jumped to the lead with Smith in pursuit. A series of cautions struck the event during the race's early stages, while Newman maintained the lead.



The Ripley, Tennessee driver kept his Upton Motorsports #73 at the front of the pack until lap 22, when Smith took advantage of lapped traffic to shoot to the lead. Once out front Smith survived a rash of late-race cautions to score the victory with Newman, Clay Fisher, Tommy Surrett, and Joseph Long rounding out the top five finishers.
