From Skyline
A pre-Midnight rain slowed the action at Skyline Speedway Friday night, relatively speaking. When the track was run in for the Sprint and Late Model features it was lightening fast. After about an hour-ten minute delay the sprint cars hit the track where Danny Smith, the former Danville, IN ace blitzed the field in high flying fashion.
On the first lap, up-and-coming rookie driver Andre Layfield clipped another car, jumped the cushion and went headlong into the concrete fence. The impact initiated a series of three roll-overs and inducted the uninjured Layfield into the “roll-over club.” The race resumed as Smith got the jump on Dave Dickson who stuck with Smith for a few laps. Dickson held second to lap nine as Smith pulled away. Jimmy Nier took over second from a 8th place start and tried to reel in Smith.
Smith was again the master of the 3/8 mile red clay oval, blitzing to his second OVSCA win in the last 3 weeks.
Roudning out the top ten were Smith, Nier, Jimmy Stinson, Aaron Higgins, Dave Dickson , Mitchell Harble, Kory Crabtree, Charlie Fisher, Josh Davis, and Eddie Slone. Aaron Higgins was hard charger
