DRIVER PROFILES

#6 COCO BEACH LEGEND

Driver: Steve Pye
Hometown: Lantz
Occupation: Mechanic
Car: ’37 Ford

Sponsors: Payless Automotive, Booty Boutique, Paul Hatt Mechanical
Career Highlights/Accomplishments: Top 5 in Winter Nationals in USA, Top 5 in Million prelim race B&A feature, Rookie of the Year 2007, Atlantic Champion 2007.
Announcer Notes: Pye is always a threat to win when he hits the Speedworld oval. His win Sunday was his sixth Coco Beach Weekly Legends win in the last three seasons – an impressive stat that ties him with “The Legend” Cy Harvey for wins since ’08.


#144 LUMBERMART LIGHTNING

Driver: Jorden Smith
Hometown: Lakeside
Car: 1998 Dodge Neon
Car Owner: Jorden Smith
Crew Chief: Russell Smith

Announcer Notes: Jorden Smith was short for words during his interview on Sunday. By the way he ran in the Season Opener, he may be good at the victory lane chat by the end of 2011.


#39 TRUCKS

Driver: Dan Smith
Hometown: Sackville
Occupation: Mechanic
Car: 1994 Chevrolet S-10
Car Owner: Dan Smith
Hobbies: Fishing, Camping, Boating
Announcer Notes: Smith is on a hot streak! He has won his third consecutive Truck series race by taking the win on Sunday over Gordon Ritchie and JP Arsenault. He also has blank panels on his yellow and black Ryan Newman-esque #39 – something a sponsor or two could change for the 2010 Most Sportsmanlike Driver in the class.


To get your crew and sponsors spotlighted on Driver Profile, make sure you have my "Announcer Information Sheet" filled out from me at the track (you can also pick one up at the pit gate should you not be able to find me) and you could be here next week on ScotiaSpeedworld.ca!
