Sunday’s ARCA RE/MAX 200 at South Boston Speedway was the scene for Brad Smith’s sixth top-20 finish of the 2004 season.

The day started out wet, and Brad found the weepers on the track while running high on the track during practice but avoided disaster. After the sun came out and started drying things out, the team qualified 23rd. Brad had to make adjustments to the car early and also suffered a broken ball joint, finishing the race 16 laps down.

The 20th place finish was actually his third of the season — Brad and his team finished 20th in the season’s other two short track events run thus far, at Salem and Toledo.

Brad’s next race won’t involve quite so much travel, as the team will be heading to Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan. The GFS Marketplace 200 will run on Saturday, July 3 at 8:30 PM
