Garrett Smithley Seeking Another Strong Performance at Texas

Garrett Smithley has had strong consistent runs over his career at the Texas Motor Speedway and on Saturday, he'll look to add another one to his resume. In four starts at Texas, Smithley has finished 24th or better in three of those races. Though qualifying hasn't been a strong suit for Smithley, the cream seems to rise once race time comes around and he gets better and better. With support from returning sponsor FAME, Smithley will have the oppurtunity to better his track best finish of 23rd and don't be surprised if that happens.

“I’m really pumped up that FAME is back on for this year for multiple races,” said Smithley. “I’ve become very passionate about FAME and what they do for my generation and future generations. With over 300 companies involved, there are a lot of great partners helping with this deal. Also, Trophy Tractor is gonna be a huge help this weekend too. Texas is becoming one of my favorite mile and a half tracks again. The more we run on the new surface, the better the racing gets and it’s incredibly fast!”

Smithley has became one of the familiar faces around the NASCAR XFINITY Series and in a few weeks at Talladega, Smithley will make his 75th start in the series. On Sunday, Smithley will make his 72nd start and in those previous starts, he has a career best finish of eighth last season at Daytona in February. (Koelle,2018)
