Smithley ready for the road

Garrett Smithley hopes to improve on his previous road-course finishes in Saturday’s Road America 180 at the Road America course in Wisconsin.

Smithley finished 39th at Watkins Glen International and 24th at Mid-Ohio in the Xfinity Series’ two previous road course races this year. Now it’s on to the tough 14-turn Road America layout.

“I enjoy the road courses,” Smithley said. “It takes a few laps to get the hang of it, but when you have a good car it’s a lot of fun. We’ll be gunning for a strong finish at Road America.”

Smithley sits 17th in Xfinity Series points entering the Road America race.
