    Clays smile shows what a good sport he is. I respect him so much for owning up and smiling. We sure could use a lot more people like him in sports. Best of luck to clay the rest of the season!!

    Hi Kevin, I hope all is well in the Smith home front. We've not heard from you in a while and would just like to know that you are all good. It's unusual for you to go so long without releasing a video.
    Kind regards, a concerned Aussie fan.🤥

    I just watched you race at freedom 500 and you bring a level of excitement and energy like no one else. You let it all out and really go for it. never apologise for accidentally taking some one out or settling a payback. You got taken out like four times and came from the bacl of the field to first place. Your a class act man. You took it like a man. So much fun watching you race.

    Its a big engine with a car strapped around it....
    With that many horses, he wasnt joking.

    Thanks KSR! So this Truck Driver grew up on the circle tracks here in the tri-state area of IN/OH/MI! I have been to the US Nationals twice I was hooked instantly! When I started at the county hwy dept that I work for know one of our mechanics did the drag and drive in his oldsmobile 442. He showed my the Hot Rod issue photo his car made it into. Have become a big fan of Clay! Hope to meet you and him someday. Most likely Indy or Norwalk!
