Chandler Smith Joins Front Row Motorsports for 2025

Chandler Smith has secured a full-time position with Front Row Motorsports for the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season after his tenure with Joe Gibbs Racing. Despite achieving two race wins and 17 top-five finishes in the 2024 Xfinity Series, Smith's lack of championship success prompted him to seek new opportunities. Facing limited growth prospects at JGR and contemplating a career shift to construction, Smith is now excited about his new role with Front Row Motorsports, where he will drive alongside rookie Layne Riggs. The team is expanding to a two-truck operation, and although specific details regarding truck numbers and sponsorships are still pending, Smith is eager to contribute to the team's success. He has expressed confidence in Front Row Motorsports' competitive history and aims to build on their momentum for a championship run in 2025. Smith's move back to the Truck Series marks a significant step in his racing career, potentially steering him back towards success in NASCAR.
