In his first event ever in any sort of Modified, Smith, of Old Lyme, held off Joey Ferrigno to win the SK Light Modified feature Saturday at Waterford.
Smith had been tabbed to drive the car only two days before the event by team owner Gino Difilippo Jr.
And off the track the accolades kept coming this week for Smith, as he won the New England Racing Fuel Support Performer of the Week Award.
Smith earned 54 percent of the votes in polling for the New England Racing Fuel Support Performer of the Week Award this week.
