Rickie Smith and his Skull Gear Chevy Cobalt have been absent from the NHRA circuit this year as Smith has been running in another sanction. Smith however, is looking to mix things up a bit in the Pro Stock class this weekend at the U.S. Nationals.
“Tricky” Rickie is not only known for his superb driving skills, but his incredible ability to make a racecar get down the rack. Known as one of the best tuners around, Smith is hoping to make the field this weekend in Indy.
“Indy is the race that everyone wants to win,” said former U.S. Nationals Pro Mod winner, Smith. “We have been racing in the IHRA this year, and ended up having this weekend off, so I said what the heck. All the nuts and bolts have come together over the last week, so we will see what we can do.”
Smith’s son, Matt is leading the Pro Stock Motorcycle points, so don’t be surprised if you see either Smith in one another’s pits throughout the weekend.
“We figured we are already going up there to support Matt, so why not race while we’re there,” said Smith. “We have tested over the last week and have been thrashing to make things work for us. We had to change my big motor car to a little motor car basically. We changed everything from the set up to the suspension to the water lines. We had a pretty good test session though, and are excited about going to Indy this weekend.”
