Byron with Hard Charger Award

Byron Smith Finishes 7th at Watkins Glen

The World Challenge Touring Car Race at Watkins Glen saw a field of 17 take the start.  But was soon hampered by the first of three full-course yellows.  The race ended under the third yellow which happened due to a big incident in turn 11 where James Clay bounced his BMW off the exit wall collecting Daniel’s Mazada as well as his two teammates, Thomas and Esayain.  All four drivers exited their cars uninjured, but the corner looked like a used-car yard-sale.  The clean-up was time consuming and effectively ended the race.  Byron avoided any contact and moved into 7th place and earning the “Hard-Charger Award.”
