The defending ARCA Menard's Series East champion, Sammy Smith, pulled off his first victory of the season, in the Season-opening race at New Smyrna Speedway on Tuesday, February 15th.
Smith started in the pole position on Tuesday after pacing the field in the afternoon’s combined practice/qualifying session. Smith, who led a total of 167 of 200 lap, and Gray traded the lead multiple times throughout the race thanks in part to a series of cautions, some of which were prompted by passing light rain showers.
On the final restart of the race, though, with six laps to go, Gray got a sluggish launch on the inside. That was all Smith needed to be able to cruise to the checkered flag with relative ease.
Here are the race results for the "Race to Stop Suicide" 200 presented by Place of Hope:
- Sammy Smith- No. 18
- Taylor Gray- No. 17
