| "Wild Child" returns June 28th at New Smyrna Speedway | by Jane Smith
Samsula, Fla (June 24, 2003) After last weekend's disappointing rain out, fans will be happy to hear that the TBARA Winged Sprints and the famous "Wild Child" flagman plus the Florida Mini Stock Challenge Series race are back on the schedule this weekend at New Smyrna Speedway.
TBARA Winged Sprints are one of the most sought after series in the state with their speed and style. Keith Butler comes into Saturday's night race with the points lead for TBARA. Expect to see Shane Butler, Joey Aguilar, Dude Teate, Wayne Reutimann Sr., Wayne Reutimann Jr., Doug Heveron, Gary Gimmler, Bobby Rose, Wendy Mathis, Sonny Hartley, Scott Adema and many more. And of course always "Wild Child", the flagman who dares to be WILD.
Robbie Yoakam leads the Florida Mini Stock Challenge Series points and has always done well at New Smyrna Speedway. Yoakam has had a really good year so far with quite a few wins under his belt. Robbie Storer, Lee Davis, Richard Kelly, Jr., Darren Jackson, Jimmy Warram, Dennis Valdez, Tom Jones Jr., Chris Hooker and Tom Zimmerman complete the top ten in points. Also Rick Sirmans was at New Smyrna last Saturday when the bottom dropped out. Over twenty cars had come in for the 50 lap event with more expected in sunshine.
