Just wondering where the #45 has been racing lately. Haven't been able to find any results showing it. Hope everything is ok. Also when will the website be updated with more upcoming events?
Thanks

Hey, thanks for the post. I haven't received anything from Doug as far as scheduling goes, so at this time I'm unable to give you any updates as to where he'll be. Just as soon as I find something out about Doug Smith Motorsports, I'll post it on the site. Thanks again  Aaron, |

Thanks Aaron! ;D I'd really appreciate the updates. I've been trying to catch him at a track close to home but right now I don't know where he is. I'll be watching for the new dates. Just hope everything is ok with him.

Last weekend the 45 team was at Richmond on Saturday where Doug finished second in his heat and wound up 6th in the feature. The next day they traveled up to Lawrenceburg, IN where he had another good heat finish, starting him in 8th. The track rubbered up fast and he slid back some in the feature, eventually pulling in before the finish. Still the team was pleased to bring the car home in good shape after their first big road trip of the season. This past weekend Doug made the late decision to head to Burnside where bad luck, among other unsurprising things, struck again. With a big field of 26 cars on hand he was forced to run the consi race, where he came home second. His feature race only lasted a few laps before rearend problems put him out. Rumor has it he may be at Richmond the next two weekends. These plans are not set, but possible. Look for a schedule update soon. I am able to call John, the team's race fabricator and wheel specialist for updates, I will try to post some here if you want.  In the meantime, Doug is also busy with his Bluegrass Summer Thunder Kart series and has to put his racing aside somewhat at the moment in preparation for the first race. You can check out all the info on the main page of this site. The first race is this coming Tuesday and I hear the big dogs will be in town... |

Thanks for the info!  I was just getting worried that something was wrong. I've never known him to miss many races, but I also know he's busy with other things these days. I'm planning on getting out to some races this summer, probably at Lake Cumberland, and I'm hoping that he'll be there. I'll keep watching here and the website for updates. Again, thanks!! ;D |
