Pocono: Brad Smith preview

APPLIANCE ZONE HEADED TO POCONO WITH "PINCH" CAR
Smith Bringing Short Track Car To 2.5 Mile Paved Triangle

Corydon, Indiana -- Baseball has pinch hitters. Brad Smith, driver of ApplianceZone.com Racing's #26 Ford in the ARCA series, is bringing a "pinch" race car with him to this Saturday's Messina Wildlife Animal Stopper 200 at Pocono Raceway. As the team hurries to prep for the following race at Michigan International Speedway, Smith hopes the short track car will do "in a pinch."

"Although we are bringing a short-track car to a big track, this track drives much like a short-track so we should be OK in that respect," said Smith. "We've had some decent finishes there in the past and we feel like this weekend may have another good finish in store."

Smith says Pocono is one of his favorite stops on the ARCA tour. "We're really looking forward to returning to the Pocono's to race," he said. "We've always felt very welcomed by the Mattioli's when we come to Pocono and we appreciate the hospitality that they give the ARCA series when we come to town. Dr. Joe & Dr. Rose are wonderful people and we hope to put on a great show for them and the fans."
