Smith Performance Specialties-built cars have swept both the Western Swing and the Jeg's SPORTSNationals.  We would like to congratulate the following Super Stock drivers on their outstanding performances:

Kevin Helms who won the Mopar Mile High Nationals at Denver in his '95 Achieva, Mark Faul who won the CARQUEST Auto Parts Nationals driving his '98 Grand Am in Seattle, and Jimmy DeFrank who drove his '98 Grand Am to victory at the Fram Autolite Nationals in Sonoma.  

Hugh Meeks III took home a victory at the Jeg's Cajun SPORTSNationals in Belle Rose by taking his '93 Achieva to the final round.  The Jeg's Northern SPORTSNationals was won by Peter Biondo in his '00 Firebird.

In its first National Event appearance, FJ Smith's newly completed 2004 Pontiac Sunfire won Best Engineered Sportsman Car at the Mopar Canadian Nationals in Grand Bend.  
It was an all SPS final at the same race, as both Wally Clark and Anthony Bertozzi drove SPS built cars to the final round of Super Stock, with Anthony coming out on top.  SPS congratulates both of these drivers.

SPS is putting the finishing touches on FJ and Victoria's new 2004 GT/AA Sunfire.  FJ is looking forward to working on his latest "test bed" and Victoria is looking forward to driving it.  Their previous race vehicle, the 2001 Chevrolet S-10 is currently for sale rolling or turn-key (GT/TB).  Please contact SPS with inquiries.

SPS had a very successful 2003 season.  In NHRA Super Stock, 5 of the top 10 points finishers drove their SPS built cars and trucks to victory.  They include number 1 - Peter Biondo, 2 -  Jeff Lane, 5 - Tony DeFrank, 8 - Bill Leber Jr, and 10 - John Coughlin.  SPS also had four divisional champions: Div 1 - Bill Leber Jr, Div 2 - Peter Biondo, Div 5 - Ricky Ray, and Div 6 - Jeff Lane.  

Their victories, with many other Super Stock racers, lead SPS cars and trucks to appear in 52% of National Event final rounds, win 40% of National Event races, appear in 48% of Divisional Event final rounds, and win 35% of the Divisional Races.  SPS cars won, in total, 40% of all NHRA Super Stock final rounds in 2003.  This is an accomplishment made by few others in the drag racing industry.
