By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KUNKLETOWN, PA (October 9, 2017) – Earning his 25th, Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions top-ten finish of the 2017 season, the “Kunkletown Kid” Ryan Smith charged from the outside of row seven to finish ninth at Wayne County (OH) Speedway on Saturday, October 7. Smith, who is second in the Arctic Cat All Star driver championship standings, earned a starting spot in Saturday night’s A-main by clocking the fastest time of the night during his respective group of qualifiers, ultimately finishing fourth during heat three of four.
“It was a solid night for the team. Top-ten finishes are important, so we’ll never complain,” Ryan Smith said, pilot of the Tom and Sherry Leidig/Warko Group/Specialty Rigging/Rick’s Auto Body/No. 59. “We have one weekend left on our All Star schedule. I think our best bet is to continue what we’ve been doing and end the year on a few solid notes. I’m proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish this season. It has been a blast.”
Ryan Smith will end his 2017 Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions campaign with a pair of programs in the Buckeye State, this time visiting Mansfield Motor Speedway and Eldora Speedway on Friday and Saturday, October 13-14. The weekend will ignite officially on Friday, October 13, with a double feature program at the Mansfield Motor Speedway in Mansfield, Ohio. A full, Arctic Cat All Star program will be conducted at the state-of-the-art facility, as well as a second $5,000-to-win, 30-lap main event that was originally scheduled for late May. Smith will start third during the make-up feature.
The 2017 Arctic Cat All Star season will conclude with a visit to the World’s Greatest Dirt Track – the Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on Saturday, October 14. Ryan Smith finished inside the top-ten during his most recent visit to The Big E with the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions, charging to seventh after starting 11th during Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket.
