A few years back at LVMS during Nationals: Darren Smith's National champion Superstock Dart was hit by the crew of another car who ran a stop sign at a pretty fast speed. Darren was bang up (He is a tough Kid)..... BUT his beautiful race car was virtually destroyed! He was coasting slowly right on the big wide main road down to the staging lanes. The crew in the SUV that hit really must have be flying by the looks of what was left of the Smith's car!

I do not believe the crew of the Alcohol Dragster received any sanctions or fines of any kind! Darren and his Dad Dave were much calmer throughout the whole ordeal than we would have been in that deal!
