CALVERT CITY, Ky. — Brady Smith powered past Darren Miller on a lap-20 restart and never looked back as he scored his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph Saturday Night at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway.
Smith in his AMSOIL/Vic Hill Racing Engines/Bloomquist Race Cars Monte Carlo earned $9,999 in the third-annual “99” extravaganza. 
Smith’s win allowed him to become the eighth different winner in the first 12 Lucas Oil Series events. Billy Drake, who took a series provisional, charged all the way from the tail to finish second, followed by Darren Miller, Steve Casebolt and point-leader Earl Pearson, Jr., who finished fifth despite racing with a fractured right wrist.
Bart Hartman led the first lap until Miller, who was driving a Billy Moyer Victory Circle chassis for just the second time this year, passed him for the lead on lap two. Miller led until Smith, who started third, made a mad dash to the point on lap 20.
Smith withstood five caution flags over a 10-lap period en route to victory.
Dan Schlieper was the fast qualifier for the 43-car field.
The finish:
Brady Smith, Billy Drake, Darren Miller, Steve Casebolt, Earl Pearson, Jr., Terry English, Matt Miller, Wes Steidinger, Justin Rattliff, Jimmy Owens, Dennis Erb, Jr., John Mason, Wayne Chinn, Jeff Walston, Brad Neat, Bart Hartman, Dan Schlieper, Don O’Neal, Kevin Claycomb, Scott James, Terry Casey, Donnie Moran, Freddy Smith, Kevin Cole.
