From the drop of the green flag for Thursdays scheduled practice to the final checkers Saturday, Kunkletown PA's very own Shannon Smith, driver of the S&S Speedways "Tribute to Roy Smith" #23 slingshot showed all participating teams how to get around the 20 degree high banked Talladega Short Track. Shannon set the bar early Thursday and left the remaining competitors scratching their heads the entire weekend looking for speed to keep up for a chance at victory.
Friday night racing resumed for the North South Showdown on the red clay 1/3 mile oval and it was ALL Shannon Smith proving Thursdays practice speeds were no fluke taking the checkered flag in the Feature event and collecting $200.00 for her efforts as well as another piece of hardware to add to her collection.
Saturday night the final race of the 2007 Slingshot season, 15 cars were scheduled to take the green flag and a National Championship was up for grabs between Billy VanInwegen,Jr. # 23B and Nick Pecko driving the #42. But it was again ALL Shannon Smith claiming her first National Feature win leading all 20 laps, sweeping the entire weekend and proving this was her weekend as a Tribute to her Grandfather Roy Smith. Shannon took home another $300.00 for her efforts as well as a her second piece of hardware in as many nights.
