Racing career

Smith at Road America in 2017
Smith at Madison in 2019
Smith at Daytona in 2020
Smith at Mid-Ohio in 2022

An oil fire at Talladega Superspeedway in 2003 burned Smith's face and arms, resulting in a hospital stay.[1] In the late 2000s, Smith hosted students from the University of Northwestern Ohio on his racing crew.[1]

During the 2015 International Motorsports Hall of Fame 200 at Talladega, Austin Wayne Self spun in the tri-oval, and collected Smith's racecar, which went pinballing off both the outside and inside retaining walls.[2] Press reports indicated that the crash fractured Smith's left ankle, although Smith later described the injury as a sprain.[3] A planned full-time season was derailed, as Smith needed a wheelchair for five months following the crash.[4] He returned for a full season the following year and received the General Tire Spirit Award.[5] Smith was driving for James Hylton Motorsports in 2018 when Hylton was killed in a hauler accident.[6] The team completed the 2018 season and rebranded as Smith Brothers Racing, led by Smith and his brother Jeff. The group retained many of the same personnel from Hylton's team.[7] In 2020, Smith claimed his first series top-ten at Winchester Speedway; the finish came in his 363rd start.[8] Despite not having much success in 2021, only finishing three races under power and missing Daytona, Smith was able to score his career best points finish, 5th. In 2022, Smith would finish nine races under power and would earn his second career top 10, 10th at Berlin, and ended the season 8th in points. 2023 would see Smith complete five races and improve to 6th in points.

Personal life

Smith was an engineer at General Motors before being laid off in 2019.[7] He has been married and divorced twice.[1] Smith graduated from Utica Eisenhower High School.[1]
