CLEWISTON, Fla. - Mark Smith would not be denied in Round 2 of Winter Heat for the USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour on Saturday night at Hendry County Motorsports Park. The Sunbury, Pennsylvania racing veteran picked off Davie Franek on lap thirteen and cruised on to collect his first feature win of the 2022 season.
Mark Ruel Jr. charged from his fourth place starting position to the race lead in the early laps of the event before contact with a lapped car on lap eleven sent the Jacksonville, Florida driver into the infield tire, ultimately ending his night.
Last night's winner Franek finished in the runner-up spot behind Smith. Garet Williamson charged from his eleventh place spot on the grid to finish on the podium.
The miniseries visits Needmore Speedway in Norman Park, Georgia on February 11th and 12th. Franek leaves Hendry County leading the USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour Points Standings over Mark Smith and Williamson.
