Kassi Smith is one of the few students at the high school who has raced at the Minneapolis Raceway. She raced every Saturday night this summer and loved each and every minute of it.
When
asked what her motto was for the season Smith replied, “Go fast,
turn left!” She believes that is a pretty legit motto for
racing!
Smith did not have a very successful season, being such a young
driver. She had many crashes, but Smith was still excited
that she finished five races.
“My worst crash was when I hit Trish head-on… in a caution. I guess I didn’t see the caution light flashing and Trish had spun out. I was going to round the corner and saw her, and I tried to whip left, but I couldn’t. So then, I pushed on the gas as hard as I could to turn it around. That was not successful either. So finally, I turned it right as hard I could, and hey, there was Trish’s car,” says Kassi Smith.
