“Yeah, it has been close to twelve years since I’ve raced at Watermelon Capital (Speedway) so I’m sure there have been a few changes since then. I know the car count looks good and towards the end of the year last year we really found out what made our car fast, so I’m pretty eager to get there and hit the track for practice,” said Smith. “Supposedly Kyle Bush and David Ragan, whose hometown in just up the road, will be racing this weekend with us which is always something to look forward to especially when you are able to out run them.”
In conjunction with this weekend’s January event, one of the earliest dates ever to kick off the season for the #99 team, Casey is proud to announce his 2012 season plans which span seventeen races long, throughout four states, including a series debut in PASS South competition. Longtime fans will continue to see the #99 SealMaster of Austin Chevy Impala at both five race mini series at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida and Mobile Int’l Speedway located just outside of Mobile, Alabama.
In addition to the races at the two above mentioned tracks Smith will hit three events at Jefferson, Georgia’s ultra fast Gresham Motorsports Park highlighted by the 29th Annual World Crown 300 on November 11th. Two of the most historic super late model races in the country will highlight Casey’s 2012 schedule. The Texas native will make his return to Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, Tennessee for his PASS South series debut as the series will bring back the traditional 400 lap All American 400 event on Saturday October 6th. From there Casey will do what he has done for years now and close out his 2012 schedule with the 45th running of the Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway on Sunday afternoon December 2nd.
“I didn’t get to race as much as I wanted to in 2011, so this year we came up with a little bit more of an aggressive schedule,” stated Smith. “This year’s schedule is awesome especially with the chance to go back to the Fairgrounds at Nashville for a chance to win the All American 400 again. I think this could really be the year that we get back to victory lane and it feels like a long time coming. I honestly couldn’t be more ready for racing season to get here.”
