From the Driver’s Seat: 

Sammy Smith: “I’m excited to start my NASCAR Xfinity Series career this weekend at Road America! I’ve been preparing for this for a long time and am ready to compete at the next level. There’s a lot that’s new this week learning a new track, new car and new team, so I’m coming into this race as prepared as I can be. It’s going to be challenging, but I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can about these cars and putting on a solid performance for the No. 18 Allstate Peterbilt Group team this weekend!”
