2025 Fantasy Outlook
Smith makes the jump over the Xfinity Series and straight from trucks into the Cup Series in 2024. Spire Motorsports is expanding to three teams in the upcoming campaign and they've signed Smith to pilot the new No. 71 Chevrolet. The 24-year-old talent has nabbed nine victories, one championship and two runner-up points finishes in the Craftsman Truck Series. Those near-100 starts have yielded a lot of accomplishments and hardware for the trophy case. Smith has nine Cup Series starts to his credit with eight of them coming in some part-time duty last season. He's not completely unfamiliar with a Cup car and that's a good thing. Smith even earned a surprising Top-10 finish with Front Row Motorsports in the Coca-Cola 600 last season. He'll make a bid for Rookie of the Year in 2024, but will face some challenges to give Josh Berry much competition competing with this new race team. Read Past Outlooks
Signs Extension with Front Row
Front Row Motorsports announced that Smith has signed a multi-year extension to continue driving the team's No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, Racing America reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith is in the midst of completing his second full season in NASCAR's top division. He's grabbed three-career Top 5's and 10-career Top 10's in his brief time in the Cup Series. FRM was impressed with what Smith has done in his first season with the team and decided to ink a multi-year extension with the young driver to stay in the team's No. 38 Ford. "We've had an up-and-down year, but heading into the offseason, I feel like we've put our program in a great position to hit the ground running in 2026," said Smith. "Front Row has always felt like home - the people, both on the road and at the shop, truly make this a special place and I'm excited for what next season holds."
