NASCAR Notebook: Regan Smith still running hot - Mansfield News Journal
Story Highlights Regan Smith said he’s still frustrated by being run into by Brendan Gaughan and Ty Dillon. Ashland’s Tim Cowen will be on the track for the Nationwide Children’s Hospital 200. LEXINGTON – Regan Smith had his YouTube moment last weekend in Watkins Glen. A pair of late race run-ins with Brendan Gaughan and Ty Dillon made the NASCAR Xfinity Series driver furious. It was definitely a moment when I was pretty frustrated and I feel like rightfully so. I think that’s the best thing I can say about it,” Smith said Thursday afternoon during a promotional outing at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. “I was very frustrated about the situation and quite honestly I’m still frustrated about it. ”. Smith was running well inside the top 10 most of the afternoon, but twice got knocked off line by the aforementioned competitors. In the midst of the points battle sitting in fourth place, Smith had to settle for 20th, while Dillon – who admitted his mistake afterward – was third to preserve his third-place in the standings. “On to the next race,” Smith continued. We’ve got to go onto the next race now and as a team we know what we’ve got to do to get back into the points battle again. Because Smith is in the points chase, will that temper his desire for retribution. Source: www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com
