TMC Driver Sammy Smith
Last year was another breakout year for TMC Transportation driver Sammy Smith.
In 2022, Sammy returned to the ARCA Menards Series platform with Kyle Busch Motorsports, competed with Donnie Wilson Racing in super late models, and ran nine races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with Joe Gibbs Racing.
Across the ARCA platform, Smith won 12 races, led 1,988 laps, and collected the Sioux Chief Showdown and ARCA Menards Series East championships. Across nine races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Smith collected three top-10 finishes with a best finish of third at Watkins Glen International.
While navigating the busy NASCAR and ARCA schedule, Smith returned to his roots and competed in numerous super late model races. The 18-year-old driver opened the season at New Smyrna (F.L.) Speedway by winning the 2022 World Series of Asphalt championship. In August, racing returned to the famous North Wilkesboro (N.C.) Speedway for the Racetrack Revival with Smith dominating the super late model race leading every lap. Smith’s final race of the 2022 season occured on Dec. 4 at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, FL for the Snowball Derby.
During the 2023 season, Smith will be driving the #18 car for Joe Gibbs Racing. TMC is proud to sponsor him again and we look forward to a fantastic season ahead.
“TMC is proud to continue its support of Sammy Smith as he takes on the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series. Sammy has already been such a great ambassador for TMC – on and off the track. His growth as a driver is remarkable and we are impressed with what he has accomplished even now. We can’t wait to see what he will do in the upcoming year.”
