Smith Receives ButlerBuilt North Central
Region Modifi ed Rookie of the Year award
Lake City, Iowa – A three-time
national champion and the winner
of 170 weekly events at the start of
the season, Dustin Smith ended 2011
with an unexpected prize.
Smith made the quick transition
from a Stock Car to top point
standings for rookie drivers in the
ButlerBuilt North Central Region
for IMCA Modifi eds.
“I’ve never won any kind of rookie
of the year award,” Smith said. “I
really wanted to run for national
rookie but I rolled my car in June
and that set us back a bit.”
He’d get his career fi rst win in
the class in just his third night out.
Smith fi nished the season with four
checkers and 14 top fi ve fi nishes in
37 starts, with a victory in the JR
Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour and
track titles at Algona Raceway and
Buena Vista Raceway to his credit.
“The biggest difference for me this
year was making adjustments on the
car. That’s huge with a Modifi ed,” he
said. “There are so many fi ne-tuning
things you can do. You could have a
fourth place car but one adjustment
could make you the fi rst place car.
I’m learning how to make those
adjustments.”
Overcoming an unanticipated
John Reis, AuD
change in the track surface, Smith
qualifi ed for the main event at the
IMCA Speedway Motors Super
Nationals fueled by Cenex. He’s
hoping to make the fi eld for the
Friday night Fast Shafts All-Star
Invitational and the big dance at
Hearing Services of IA.
Center for Health Services, Lake City

“I really want to get into the All-
Star race. I know a lot of people who
could vote for me,” he joked.
Part of the large and well-known
racing family that hails from Lake
City, Iowa, Smith was the national
Hobby Stock champion in 2004 and
2005, and national Stock Car king
in 2009. Younger brother Devin will
walk across the stage at this year’s
banquet in Lincoln to accept his own
national Hobby Stock hardware.
