Sammy Smith

You might have won the Zillich versus Gregson this week, but I won this head-to-head.

Sammy Smith in eighth place.

Raja Carruth in 11th.

Was Carruth, I think, got a little damage maybe on that?

Sheldon Creed earns his second O'Reilly Series victory this season.

Corey Day would finish second, followed by Brent Cruz, Sammy Smith, and Austin Hill.

One of the bigger moments in the race is when Corey Day made contact with William Swalich, sending Swalich spinning.

Swalich did not like that, and him and Day had words for each other post-race.

O'Reilly points standings after Darlington.

Justin Allgaier still leading, and with the win, and just like Christopher Bell, with the win in Darlington, on the O'Reilly series side, Sheldon Creed moves up to the second spot, just seven points behind Allgaier.

Carson Quapel in third, Austin Hill fourth, Corey Day fifth, then Jesse Love, Sammy Smith, Brandon Jones, Sam Mayer, Parker Redslove rounding out the top 10.

And the final two spots in the chase right now, Taylor Gray and Raja Karuth, the last but not

Back in 98, the other ones seeped into fish tour.

And I, you know, I was this happy-go-lucky, magical little hippie selling grilled cheese, making veggie burritos, selling Sammy Smith.

um and the scene got so dark that year with the other one's crew because they hated they were hating on fish but they just wanted to come in and make money off of us anyways great memories not so great memories of being fucked up and going to kids bop with my daughter and leading meetings and but I'm coming up on a year of sobriety and recovery and I'm in a better place today and I can keep it under five minutes.

So thank God.

I will go first, because in my first box was a bet that I already had in the dock, and apparently Cody would like to go against me on this one, which is, again, shades of old-school NASCAR gambling podcast.

But I had Raja Karuth in a matchup against Sammy Smith, and I will take Raja Karuth over Sammy Smith.

This is minus 110 over on the DraftKings Sportsbook, and Look, I get it because Sammy Smith has actually not been all that bad here on this particular track.

But my whole thing is this, right? So Raja Karuth has been on a decent run as of late.

And last week, all things considered, still was a decent enough run considering the fact that he had every problem under the sun before the race even fully got started.

So since Atlanta... has been a very, and which is why he earned his way into the chase anyways at the end of that, was just because he was continuing to be a good, solid driver.

And I feel like they can stack more onto that particular momentum and get him going again.

Whereas Sammy Smith, right? Yeah, he had a fourth place at Darlington last week, which was great.

This is one of the scary car lifts.

But hey, Sammy Smith worked out for us last week.

So we're just going to keep on rolling.

Yeah.

We're out full O'Reilly episode.

Let's see if there's a car lift to be cooked up out there.

But yeah, did well with Sammy Smith last week.

And of course, hitting Sheldon Creed as the win.

Well, we got out of there without losing the championship, and we got some vital stage points to offset, like I said, that end result.

Sammy Smith run awesome, got a great result, and I'm really upset about how we gave Rajah kind of a faulty race car.

Rajah showed speed, drove up through there late in the race, had him look like he was going to get a really, really good result today, And the car, we had a mechanical issue with the car all night long.

And that's frustrating.
