Clint Smith to Start 2015 Campaign in Annual Bama Bash
(January 15, 2015) As the 2015 racing season rapidly approaches, Clint Smith announced today that he will not follow the World of Outlaws Late Model Series circuit this year. With the switch back to owning and operating his own equipment and a lack of funding to follow a national tour, the WOOLMS stalwart will be forced to scale back and race closer to home in 2015. Instead of opening up during "Speedweeks," Clint has earmarked the 18th Annual 'Bama Bash' at East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Alabama as his season lid lifter on February 27-28. The Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series (SAS) will preside over the high-profile program, which boasts a hefty $15,000 payday.
