Samuel L. Smith (born June 4, 2004) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 8 Chevrolet SS for JR Motorsports and part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado RST for Spire Motorsports.

Smith previously competed in the ARCA Menards Series and won two consecutive ARCA Menards Series East championships in 2021 and 2022. He also has competed in the CARS Tour, where he has driven for car owners Barry Nelson, Marcus Richmond, and Donnie Wilson as well as Kyle Busch Motorsports.

Racing career

=Late model racing=

Smith began racing at the age of 8 in go-karts and then began racing legends cars and late models. His dad inspired him to start racing.{{cite web |first=Richard |last=Allen |url=http://insidecircletrack.com/2020/08/sammy-smith-developing-talent-with-kyle-busch-motorsports-guidance/ |title=Sammy Smith developing talent with Kyle Busch Motorsports guidance |website=Inside Circle Track |publisher=Tempera & WordPress |date=August 5, 2020 |access-date=June 14, 2021}}

Smith made his debut in the CARS Tour in May 2019, driving the No. 12 Toyota for Barry Nelson. He was 14 years old at the time. He would run five more races for Nelson that year and another in 2020, before running two races in the No. 19 for Marcus Richmond. Smith returned to Nelson's team in 2021 to compete in the race at Orange County Speedway. Smith competed full-time in the CARS Series in the Super Late Model Tour in 2020, driving the No. 51 (or on occasion, the No. 51S) for Kyle Busch Motorsports. That year, he also competed in the World Series of Asphalt.

In 2021, KBM decided to temporarily close down their late model team,{{cite web |first=Matt |last=Weaver |url=https://www.shorttrackscene.com/super-late-models/kyle-busch-motorsports-super-late-model-team-shuttered/ |title=Kyle Busch Motorsports Super Late Model Team Shuttered |website=Short Track Scene |date=January 25, 2021 |access-date=June 20, 2021}} so Smith moved to Wilson Motorsports for his late model starts that year.{{cite web |url=https://www.speedsport.com/stock-cars/touring-late-models/sammy-smith-lands-at-wilson-motorsports/ |title=Sammy Smith Lands at Wilson Motorsports |website=Speed Sport |date=January 24, 2021 |access-date=June 20, 2021}} He again entered the World Series of Asphalt and won the race driving the team's No. 22 car.{{cite web |first=Adam |last=Fenwick |url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2021/02/07/sammy-smith-returns-to-victory-lane/ |title=Sammy Smith Returns To Victory Lane |website=NASCAR.com |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media, LLC |date=February 7, 2021 |access-date=June 20, 2021}}

On February 3, 2021, it was announced that Smith would compete in the first five races of the ARCA Menards Series East season as well as the West Series season-finale at Phoenix, all in Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 18 car.{{cite web |first=Joseph |last=Srigley |url=https://tobychristie.com/2021/02/03/sammy-smith-joins-joe-gibbs-racings-arca-east-program-for-six-races-in-2021/ |title=Sammy Smith Joins Joe Gibbs Racing's ARCA East Program for Six Races in 2021 |website=TobyChristie.com |date=February 3, 2021}} In his debut at New Smyrna, Smith would lose the race to Max Gutiérrez in a three-wide photo finish with him and Taylor Gray.{{cite web |first=Tadd |last=Haislop |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2021/02/09/rookie-max-gutierrez-earns-first-arca-win-in-photo-finish-at-new-smyrna/ |title=Rookie Max Gutiérrez Earns First ARCA Win In Photo Finish At New Smyrna |website=ARCARacing.com |date=February 9, 2021 |access-date=June 20, 2021}} Smith would then go on to win and lead the most laps in the next two races at Five Flags and the Nashville Fairgrounds. He also won the pole at Five Flags. At Dover, JGR entered Ty Gibbs (their full-time driver in the main ARCA Menards Series) in the No. 18 and moved Smith to a new second car for the team, the No. 81. (It was originally the No. 18E on the entry list,{{cite web |first=Christian |last=Koelle |url=https://kickinthetires.net/nascar/arca/arca-east-preview-2021-general-tire-125-at-dover-international-speedway/ |title=ARCA East Preview: 2021 General Tire 125 at Dover International Speedway |website=Kickin' the Tires |date=May 11, 2021 |access-date=June 20, 2021}} but since this race was not a combination race, numbers with letters were not allowed and the team had to change the number.) Gibbs would win that race and Smith would finish fourth. At Southern National Motorsports Park, Smith would pick up his third win of the season. While the remaining three East Series races were not on his initial schedule, Smith is expected to return to the No. 81 in those three races (at least Iowa){{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2021/07/05/ty-gibbs-sammy-smith-to-race-for-joe-gibbs-racing-at-iowa-speedway/ |title=Ty Gibbs, Sammy Smith to race as teammates at Iowa Speedway |website=ARCARacing.com |date=July 5, 2021}} to hold onto the points lead and win the championship. Those three races are combination races with the main ARCA Menards Series, so Gibbs will be in the No. 18.

Smith returned to the East Series in 2022, this time driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports. He started the season on a high note, winning the season opener race at New Smyrna, after starting from the pole and leading 167 laps.{{Cite web |last=Haislop |first=Tadd |date=February 16, 2022 |title=Sammy Smith finds redemption, wins 2022 East Series opener at New Smyrna |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2022/02/16/sammy-smith-finds-redemption-wins-2022-east-series-opener-at-new-smyrna/ |access-date=July 1, 2022 |website=ARCA}} He scored another win the in following race at Five Flags, leading 107 laps.{{Cite web |last=Haislop |first=Tadd |date=March 20, 2022 |title=Sammy Smith cruises to another East Series win with dominating run at Five Flags Speedway |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2022/03/20/sammy-smith-cruises-to-another-east-series-win-with-dominating-run-at-five-flags-speedway/ |access-date=July 1, 2022 |website=ARCA}} His third win of the season came at Nashville, as he once again led the most laps, with 156.{{Cite web |last=Fenwick |first=Adam |date=May 8, 2022 |title=Sammy Smith sings a winning tune in Music City 200 at Nashville Fairgrounds |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2022/05/08/sammy-smith-sings-a-winning-tune-in-music-city-200-at-nashville-fairgrounds/ |access-date=July 1, 2022 |website=ARCA}} Smith would also run the main ARCA Menards Series schedule full-time, but because he will not turn 18 until June 4, 2022, he would skip four races at the larger tracks, Daytona, Talladega, Kansas, and Charlotte.{{Cite web |date=February 10, 2022 |title=KBM to field full-time ARCA Menards Series entry in 2022 with Sammy Smith as primary driver |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2022/02/10/kbm-to-field-full-time-arca-menards-series-entry-in-2022-with-sammy-smith-as-primary-driver/ |access-date=July 1, 2022 |website=ARCA}} He earned his first main ARCA win at Berlin, leading the final 8 laps after race leader, Daniel Dye, suffered a mechanical problem.{{Cite web |last=Fenwick |first=Adam |date=June 19, 2022 |title=Sammy Smith earns maiden ARCA Menards Series win in stunning fashion at Berlin Raceway |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2022/06/19/sammy-smith-earns-maiden-arca-menards-series-win-in-stunning-fashion-at-berlin-raceway/ |access-date=July 1, 2022 |website=ARCA}} He would get a second win in the following week at Elko, dominating the race and leading 233 laps.{{Cite web |last=Fenwick |first=Adam |date=June 25, 2022 |title=Sammy Smith leaves no doubt with dominant victory at Elko Speedway |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2022/06/25/sammy-smith-leaves-no-doubt-with-dominant-victory-at-elko-speedway/ |access-date=July 1, 2022 |website=ARCA}}

During the 2023 season, Smith scored his first win at Phoenix; at age 18, he became the youngest Xfinity Series winner at Phoenix and the fourth youngest winner in series history.{{cite web |url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2023/03/11/xfinity-series-phoenix-race-recap-spring-2023-sammy-smith-ryan-truex-sheldon-creed/ |title=Sammy Smith scores first career Xfinity win at Phoenix |first=Reid |last=Spencer |website=NASCAR |date=March 11, 2023 |access-date=March 12, 2023}}

On September 26, 2023, it was announced that Smith would leave JGR after the 2023 season and move to JR Motorsports in the No. 8 car for 2024.{{Cite web |url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2023/09/26/jr-motorsports-sammy-smith-no-8-chevrolet-2024-xfinity-series/ |title=JR Motorsports lands Sammy Smith for No. 8 Chevrolet in 2024 Xfinity Series |first=Zack |last=Albert |website=NASCAR |date=September 26, 2023 |access-date=September 27, 2023}} Smith started the season with a 23rd place finish at Daytona. He made the playoffs as the 12 seed with 0 wins, 4 top 5s, and 13 top 10s. During the playoffs, Smith scored his 2nd career Xfinity win (first win of the 2024 season) at Talladega.{{cite web |url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2024/10/05/sammy-smith-advances-in-xfinity-series-playoffs-with-talladega-win/ |title=Sammy Smith advances in Xfinity Series Playoffs with Talladega win |first=Holly |last=Cain |website=NASCAR |date=October 5, 2024 |access-date=October 6, 2024}}

Smith started the 2025 season with a 24th-place finish at Daytona. At Martinsville, he wrecked Taylor Gray while fighting for the lead on the final overtime lap, triggering a multi-car pileup. As a result, Smith was docked 50 driver points and fined {{USD}}25,000.{{cite web |url=https://www.jayski.com/2025/04/01/martinsville-penalties-sammy-smith-fined-25000-docked-50-points-for-last-lap-crash/ |title=Martinsville penalties: Sammy Smith fined $25,000, docked 50 points for last-lap crash |website=Jayski's Silly Season Site |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media |date=April 1, 2025 |access-date=April 2, 2025}} At Rockingham, Smith finished second to Jesse Love, but Love was disqualified after failing post race inspection; as a result, Smith earned his first win of 2025.{{cite web |url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2025/04/19/nascar-xfinity-series-rockingham-race-recap/ |title=Sammy Smith takes Xfinity Series victory in Rockingham return; Love disqualified |website=NASCAR |date=April 19, 2025 |access-date=April 20, 2025}}

=Craftsman Truck Series=

On February 3, 2023, it was announced that Smith would make his Truck Series debut in the 2023 season-opener at Daytona, filling in for Taylor Gray in the Tricon Garage (previously David Gilliland Racing) No. 17 truck due to Gray still being 17 years old and therefore not able to race there.{{cite web |first=Joseph |last=Srigley |url=https://tobychristie.com/2023/02/03/sammy-smith-making-nascar-truck-series-debut-in-tricon-garage-no-17-at-daytona/ |title=Sammy Smith Making NASCAR Truck Series Debut in TRICON Garage No. 17 at Daytona |website=TobyChristie.com |date=February 3, 2023}}
