Smith Records A Top-FiveFinish At Miller

Moses Smith, pilot of the No. 16 HASA Pool Products/White Flyer Toyota Camry for Bill McAnally Racing finished 5th at Miller Motorsports Park’s NASCAR Camping World Series West race. Smith is eighth in the chase for the NASCAR Camping World Series West championship and only 88 points out of the top-five. He is only 15 points out of seventh with three races left in the season.

During the practice sessions, Smith fought with a tight condition in the Hasa Toyota Camry. Mario Isola and the Hasa team from BMR made the needed adjustments to put the Hasa Toyota on the starting grid in eighth of 26 cars.

Smith was called to pit road at lap 14 to take on fuel. He returned during the caution at lap 16 to fix the fuel dry break that was leaking fuel. With a lot of rocks being kicked up onto the track, Isola made the call to put on fresh tires at lap 19.

Smith was running in 19th at lap 20 and moved into the top ten by lap 28. With six laps to go, Smith took over 5th and posted his fastest lap of the race at lap 37.

“Miller was an awesome race! Besides having brake troubles late in the race and making an unexpected pit stop to fix the fuel dry break from leaking, everything went as planned,” said Smith. “Thanks to Mario (Isola) for recalculating our pit strategy and the Hasa crew for having flawless pit stops. I think we were only a few spots from last at one point, and we were able to get through traffic find ourselves in 5th before the checkered flag.”

The next race for the series will be the Toyota/NAPA 150 at Colorado National Raceway on August 15th. The race at CNS can be seen on August 20th on SPEED TV at noon pacific time. For tickets and more information on the event, please visit www.coloradospeedway.com.

Moses Finishes Fifth In Miller

Miller Motorsports Park is a state-of-the-art road racing facility for automobiles, motorcycles and karts located just 35 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City in Tooele, Utah. It is considered the finest facility of its type in North America.

Opened in 2006, Miller Motorsports Park hosts many of the world's most significant racing series, including the American Le Mans Series, Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, NASCAR Grand National West Series, AMA Superbike Championship and, new for 2008, the FIM Superbike World Championship, one of the top three racing series in the world.



In Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Series West race, Moses Smith qualified the #16 Hasa Pool Products / White Flyer Toyota Camry in eighth position for the start of the Miller Motorsports Park “125.” However, after misfortune forced the team to pit three times, Moses found himself in eighteenth place at the race’s halfway point.

The #16 Hasa Pool Products / White Flyer Toyota Camry battled back hard and returned to the top ten on lap twenty-five. However, Smith reported brake issues and the team were worried about them overheating. Two consequential yellow flag conditions assisted Moses in maintaining his brakes.

After the last yellow flag, with only ten laps to go, Moses charged forward from eighth place for a fifth place finish.
