Inside Line Promotions – OWASSO, Okla. (July 19, 2016) – Tony Bruce Jr. is climbing back into Jeff Smith’s sprint car this weekend.
The duo will compete on Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, and Sunday at Double X Speedway in California, Mo., with the ASCS Warrior Region.
“I feel pretty confident,” Bruce Jr. said. “We’ve had some races together and knowing what each other needs we’ll have a lot better opportunity to have more speed.”
The team has competed at Knoxville Raceway once this season and this Saturday’s event might be the final tune-up prior to the 360 Knoxville Nationals next month.
“We struggled early and got better in the feature, but unfortunately had a brake line get a hole rubbed into it so we ended up with a DNF,” Bruce Jr. said of his last visit to the half-mile oval.
Sunday will mark the debut at Double X Speedway for Bruce Jr.
“I’m definitely looking forward to it,” he said. “One of my best friends in racing, Jesse Hockett, used to go over there and dominate. I’m looking forward to going to a race track he enjoyed spending time at.”
Bruce Jr. and Smith have earned two runner-up results and four top-10 finishes this season in the four races since the DNF at Knoxville Raceway in early June.
