10/1711 - Mechanical Failure Forces Early Finish for Shanky at South Alabama

Shanky Smith came in to the Alabama Pro 200 with high hopes of a good finish. The Spring Hill, AL driver was fresh off of a 3rd place effort in the 2011 Viper Series championship standings. Shanky qualified his No. 17 Golden Sands/Paradise Homes Chevy in the ninth position for the first of the Twin 100 lap races. Clutch problems early in the race forced Shanky to pull behind the wall with 37 laps to go, resulting in an 18th place finish. The team worked hard to get the clutch problems resolved to start race #2. Unfortunately, just 30 laps in to the second race Shanky's night was done. The problems had persisted. The Alabama Pro 200 concludes the 2011 season for Shanky Racing and the team is now ready to prepare for the Rattler Weekend in March.
