New Smyrna – TBARA

At June’s TBARA stop at the high banks of New Smyrna Speedway Wendy Mathis recorded her best finish of the season – third place. Wendy had a fast car all night, only making a slight change to the setup for the feature. Wendy also led the vast majority of her heat race after jumping into the lead at the start. The ultra fast speeds the sprint cars hit at New Smyrna Speedway very much suit Wendy’s smooth driving style.
