Akron, OH / Charlotte, NC- 10-08-2013 In his debut as driver of the Rob Warko #94, Ryan Smith shows he’s ready to break out! Qualifying 25th for Friday and coming back with a blistering lap for Saturday’s qualifying! Smith sat atop the qualifying charts for most of the session. Paul McMahan was able to take his second fast qualifier of the year and Donnie Schanz muscled his way into the 2nd spot, with Smith and the #94 settled in at 3rd fastest of a 55 car field.
To say this driver and team are fired up is an understatement. Since making a big leap as Donnie Kreitz Jr’s teammate in the # 69 to form his own team with Rob Warko Racing, Smith knew the hard work was about to begin. “I can’t say enough about the education I received from Donnie. The man knows his stuff and I’m thankful to have had the chance to work and learn under him for the past two seasons. With this new team, I can apply that education. The Rob Warko Race team has worked hard to get us ready for this race. Nothing like taking a brand new team and brand new car to one of the biggest races of the year.” Chuckles Smith. Knowing a few good laps are just a start to his weekend, Smith adds his team knows the real work starts today. “We hope to take the momentum from qualifying and harness that for the rest of the weekend. Racing against these other guys who have been on their game all season long is going to be tough. I think we are on the right track and we couldn’t be happier with how our weekend has started.”
If last night was any indication of what lies ahead for this team, 2014 is going to be very exciting.
