Danny Smith (OH) has entered the 66th annual Little 500 in the Mike Blake Racing Racing #81. This will be his first start in this event since 1979. Not sure the last time he has raced pavement.
Danny was the co-winner of the race in 1979. His left the race on lap 408 in the Frank Rise entry but filled in for the last 19 laps in relief of Wayne Reutimann. Danny has five starts in the LIttle 500 from 1975 to 1979.
