Top-Ten Finish for Moses Smith

Moses Smith, piloting the No. 16 Hasa Pool Product/White Flyer Toyota Camry for Bill McAnally Racing finished in eighth at the NAPA AUTO PARTS /Toyota 150 presented by Exclusive Energy Drink at Madera Speedway. Smith and the Hasa team from BMR put the car on the inside of the fourth row to start the 150-lap race.

Smith took the green flag maintaining his position of seventh for the first 25 laps. Tight racing caused damage to the No. 16 Hasa Toyota Camry.

Smith radioed in to his crew chief Mario Isola at lap 50 that he had low fuel pressure and that his water and oil temperatures had risen. While under the third caution of the night, Smith brought the car to the infield where the No. 16 Hasa team quickly went to work to pull out the nose of the Hasa Toyota. Back underway, NASCAR scored the No. 16 a lap down. Smith continued to make his way thru the field and at lap 136, he was the “beneficiary”. The No. 16 HASA Pool Products Toyota Camry was once again scored on the lead lap. He passed two more cars for position to finish the race in eighth.

Smith leaves Madera seventh in the point chase for the championship and less than 50 points out of the top five.

The next event on the schedule will be the annual NASCAR Camping World Series East/West combination race, the Long John Silver’s 200, at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa on May 17. The NAPA AUTO PARTS/Toyota 150 presented by Exclusive Energy Drinks is televised on SPEED Channel’s Racing Across America Program on May 7th at noon PST. Check your local listings.
