Samsula, Fla. (October 10, 2004) Saturday night there were alot of smiles at New Smyrna Speedway as the "After Disaster" FREE night of racing saw many come out and chase their stress away. All fans were admitted free and it showed in the capacity that alot of people needed a welcomed break from the stress of hurricanes and damages to their lives.

Not only were they treated to a night of some really good racing but also door prizes and one lucky fan and one lucky driver took home $466.00 from the 50-50 purse.

Michael Williams brought out his new No. 32 Super Late to win the Super Late Model feature. Fain Skinner and Jacob Warren added to the show with visiting Al Berry who usually runs at Columbia Motorsports Park. A.J. Factor brought his Super Late that he races for his little girl's illness and did a great job of coming home fourth.; And Jack Lenzen had his first ride in a Super Late taking sixth place.

Chuck Burkhalter was at New Smyrna getting ready for next weekend's Goodyear Challenge Late Model 100. Burkhalter took the early lead and won the feature followed by Don Hess, Troy Atkins, Sam Watts and Jeff Colburn.

Jamie Skinner took his first feature Open Wheel Modified win in style. Skinner was in good company as Brad May made a great challenge for the lead but just could not pass Skinner. Jerry Symons had his ever popular #66 out and came home third followed by Rob Underwood and Bobby Blake. In Victory Lane Skinner said he had not had this much fun in a long time and gave recognition to his friends for helping him.

Donny Williams and Dale Clouser put on another great Sportsman show as they went nose-to-tail for the win. Clouser took the win last week but it was Williams in Winner's Circle this week. Mike Soukup, John Nusbaum, and Bryan Dula rounded out the top five.

Twenty three Super Stocks ran the 50 lap Super Stock feature with Ron Whaley taking the win. Coming back after too long of an absence was the 2003 Super Stock Champion Charlie Collins who tried to pass Whaley but just didn't have it Saturday night. Collins had to settle for second place. Jack Lenzen, Brent Brown and Jason Foster filled out the top five. What a great race and the fans loved it!!!!

Ted "Mr. Mini Stock" Vulpius took the Mini Stock win. Brian Bellaw really tried but suffered a blown engine in the race. Ben Cutler Jr. took second followed by Rex Christensen, Alli Owens, and Chad Carpenter. Sixth place Mark Broat was the lucky one as he went home with the $466 from the 50-50 driver half. Mark was all smiles as he walked away from the pay window Saturday night.

Strictly Stocks got a treat Saturday night as they were the first feature on the program. Taking the win was Mike Wofford followed by Curtis Smith, Chris Guidry, Nick Boley and Larry Cuddy. Fans really liked this class and found it to really have alot of action.
