At the first meeting of the 2011 season, Andy Smith (391/1) became only the tenth BriSCA F1 stock car driver to win 100 final wins during their career. Last season, Frankie Wainman jnr (515) notched up an impressive 250 wins to compound his second place position with John Lund (53) rounding out the top three. At the top of course is the late, great Maestro Stuart Smith (391) with a mammoth 500 final wins. Just outside of the top ten is Peter Falding (33) on a nearly but not quite ninety-nine. Will Peter take to the track one more time to get that magical 100?
