18-year-old NASCAR hopeful Regan Smith will make his CTS debut this Saturday at Big Daddys South Boston Speedway in the #63 MB Motorsports Ford truck. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to compete in the No. 63 truck for owner Mike Mittler and everyone at MB Motorsports, Smith said. There have been several drivers that have gotten their starts in NASCAR with MB Motorsports. Hopefully this can be a launching pad for my career as well. MB Motorsports has fielded entries for NASCAR drivers such as the late Kenny Irwin, Jr., Jamie McMurray and current driver Carl Edwards. The team plans to run Edwards for Rookie-of-the-Year honors next season in the CTS. For Smith, this will mark a return to Big Daddys South Boston Speedway. Smith, who competed the past two seasons on the USAR ProCup Series, has raced at South Boston on several occasions.(PR)(9-17-2002)
