The 2010 season was another standout year for the Smith family from Lake City. The large family that sees six of it members pilot a race car found ample opportunity to grace victory lane on more then one occasion, and that's exactly what happened.
Let's start with the trio of stock car drivers. Dustin Smith was the most consistent of the group as he only finished outside the top ten once in fifty-six starts. Dustin picked up twenty-one wins, with eight apiece at Marshalltown and Harlan where he also picked up track championships. Dustin won the Positivelyracing All-Iowa points and was runner up in IMCA National Points. He also was runner up at the IMCA Supernationals, a great way to cap off a remarkable season.

Donavon - Donavon also picked up two track championships this season, winning crowns at the Buena Vista Raceway in Alta along with the Boone Speedway title. He picked up eleven wins on the season while only finishing outside the top ten three times. Donavon finished right behind brother Dustin at the IMCA Supernationals.

David - David Smith picked up nine feature wins this season. Ironically both David and Donavon both had forty-one starts and thirty-eight top 10's. David finished third in points in Alta (behind his brothers) and second at Algona to Chad Palmer.

Doug - Doug is the lone family member racing without fenders as he pilots a limited modified. Doug had an up and down season as I believe he said he wrecked a car early in the year if memory serves me correctly. That being said, he was still able to compete thirty-one times while earning eight feature wins. He finished the season on a high note as he won three of the last five races he entered.

Devin - Devin will perhaps have bragging rights for the winter has he picked up the most wins this season with twenty-seven. He picked up eight wins apiece at Marshalltown and Algona en route to winning those track championships. He accolades mirror those of brother Dustin as he finished second in IMCA National Points, but garnering the Positivelyracing All-Iowa Points crown.

Daniel - Lastly, but certainly not least, Daniel competed thirty-five events this year while picking up a win at Rockwell City. He finished fourth in points in Alta and tenth in Harlan.

Be sure to compare those numbers with the Gustin family to see which racing family you think had the better season.
- Racing may be a hobby, but it's DEFINITELY addictive!!
