Andy Smith (speedway Rider)
Andrew "Andy" Smith (born 25 May 1966 in York, England) is a British motorcycle speedway rider. He won the British Speedway Championship three times in a row in 1993, 1994 and 1995, giving him the distinction of being one of only three riders ever to achieve this feat.
Andy Smith also rode in Australia during his career, including the 1990/91 Australian season when he based himself at the 530m long Claremont Speedway in Perth, Western Australia. Despite Claremont being almost twice the length of most British tracks, on 18 January 1991 Smith defeated home town hero, and twice Australian Champion Glenn Doyle in the King of Claremont Classic. Smith also finished 2nd to Sweden's Dennis Löfqvist at the Boxing Day (26 December 1990) International at the 610m long Royal Melbourne Showgrounds.
