Inside Line Promotions – KUNKLETOWN, Pa. (Dec. 22, 2015) – Ryan Smith is returning to the desert next month for the 2nd annual Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown.
Smith will team up with Arizona resident Ryan Linder to tackle the offseason’s top sprint car event in the country, which is hosted by Cocopah Speedway in Somerton, Ariz., Jan. 1-2, Jan. 5 and Jan. 8-9.
“I’m grateful to Ryan Linder for the opportunity and I think we’ll have a pretty good team from the start,” Smith said. “It’s exciting to try out his X-1 Race Cars. Jeremy Bitner is coming along with me to turn the wrenches. We’ve really gelled over the last two seasons. We’re also sending two of our HP engines over there so I think we’ll have a great combination.”
Smith, who won three UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions races before placing seventh in the 2015 All Star championship standings, kicked off this year at Cocopah Speedway during the inaugural Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown. He highlighted the event by charging from 19th to sixth place to garner the Hard Charger Award during one of the features.
“I think it’s important to stay active during the offseason and there’s no better way to do that than by heading to Winter Heat,” he said. “Not only is the payout good, the competition is stout and that will help us stay on top of our game. Plus, you can’t beat the weather in Arizona in January compared to most everywhere else in the country.”
Smith is seeking additional sponsors to help offset the cost of competing all five nights. For more information, email speed55@ptd.net.
