Dude, that's what I just said to you. That's the exact connection I made with him possibly knowing that Smith was friends with Ceravolo. But that isn't a "history" as you put it. I'm not sure why Will would know who Hayes is. What happened between Hayes' father and Ceravolo had nothing to do with Smith. I can see Hayes knowing of Smith was and having a petty axe to grind, but I just don't see how Smith would have recognized Hayes, especially in the dark. If Hayes knew that it was Smith in the other vehicle, I'm guessing it's because he spotted him at the restaurant.
