Newsmaker of the Week // Darren Smith

Those attending Super DIRT Week at NY’s Oswego Speedway were treated to one of the more thrilling finishes in the event’s 54-year history last Saturday.

In an incredible late-race charge, Darren Smith gambled on fresh tires, marched from 16th over the final five laps, and made a last-corner pass on Mat Williamson to steal the $54,000 top prize and the ‘Buzzie Trophy’ in the final 100 feet, sending the stunned crowd into a frenzy they won’t soon forget.

For capturing the biggest win of his life in one of the more shocking ways imaginable, Darren Smith goes down in the record books forever as a Newsmaker!
