Acworth, Georgia (December 2, 2014) – T.J. Reaid knows he's a bona fide
contender wherever his travels may take him. He's proven as much with victories
in the Southern Super Series at Five Flags Speedway (FL) as well as in the ARCA/
CRA Super Series at Anderson Speedway (IN). So going into the 47th annual
Snowball Derby, the Acworth, Georgia driver is in search of that elusive major
victory to cap off 2014.
Reaid is a former winner of one of the 'majors' in the Super Late Model racing world,
the All-American 400 at Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville (TN) back in 2010. So
the 24-year-old knows what it takes under the big spotlight. However, the Snowball
Derby has been a race that is on the top of all Super Late Model Drivers “to do list”!
T.J. Reaid continued his mastery of Anderson Speedway, earlier this year, as the
Acworth, Georgia driver in his #41 Mitch Smith Auto Service / Gann Aviation /
Chevrolet took the lead and held off constant challenges from Brian Campbell and
Kenseth to complete the clean sweep of the entire weekend, before enduring a
summer of awesome Dirt Track Racing. Reaid was the fastest car in practice, won
his fifth Consecutive Anderson Fast Qualifier Award and then went on to win his
third consecutive ARCA/CRA Super Series / Anderson Spring Event.
In addition to the race being his favorite of the year, the Georgia driver will once
again have the familiar “Mitch Smith Auto Service” on the hood & rear bumper for the 300 lap event as primary sponsor for the weekend. "We have worked with Mitch before and it is great to have them back on the hood for this race. They are a great sponsor in late model racing it is nice to see people like Mitch Smith Auto Service helping out the racers." Reaid states.
Mitch Smith Auto Service is very excited to sponsor good friend Tj for this year’s SnowBall Derby, in Pensacola, FL. We just love being involved with the #41 team; these guys are great, and run a class-act." Mitch added. "After T.J. Reaid ran into complications at the RedBud 300 in our home town, then having to miss the Prestigious Winchester 400 it was only natural to be involved with Tj for this event. Our hats are off for them letting us be involved; our whole shop is excited as we look forward to another great event." He added. Wish us Luck, Go #41! ;-)
"I know it seems like I get all the credit, but it’s all because of this crew who is with me and do all of the hard work needed to make this team successful." Reaid appreciatively said. It is great to have a company like Mitch Smith Auto Service come on board to sponsor our racecar. Mitch is a 4-time NHRA Drag Racing Champion with over 15 NHRA drag racing event wins and he wants to sponsor circle track cars. That is really cool." Reaid ended.
