Dayton: Trevor Smith pilots 1,000th career winner

Though it was a rainy Thursday evening at Dayton Raceway, it was all sunny skies for Trevor Smith, who scored his 1,000th career driving win.

Smith hit his milestone win aboard Walknaftermidnight - trained by his father, Jeff Smith, who also gave Smith his first career driving opportunity aboard Votto at the Wilmington Fair in 2015. Smith and Walknaftermidnight took command early from post six and led the field through fractions of 26 2/5, 55 2/5 and 1:23 1/5 and a mile time of 1:50 4/5.
