Age has not diminished the veteran New Zealand race-car driver Kenny Smith's need for speed. The 79-year-old creates history this weekend when he lines up for his 50th New Zealand Grand Prix at the Hampton Downs circuit, south of Auckland. A three-time winner of the event, Smith has been racing cars for 63 years. Kenny Smith talks to RNZ's Clay Wilson.
