Chandler Smith is a professional stock car driver competing full-time in the NASCAR Truck Series for Front Row Motorsports and part-time in NASCAR Xfinity and the Cup Series. He holds a 2024 NASCAR Xfinity championship. With 228 starts across nine seasons, Smith rates as a professional competitor with a rating of 4,974.[1]

Smith's primary work has been in the Truck Series, where he has 103 starts with 9 wins and 19 podiums; he runs the full schedule on ovals and road courses alike. In NASCAR Xfinity, where he took the 2024 title, he has 71 starts with 3 wins and 13 podiums across a similar mix of circuits. His early career centred on ARCA Menards racing between 2018 and 2022, where he accumulated 10 wins and 17 podiums in 35 starts for the Venturini operation. He has contested seven Cup Series rounds since 2023 and made brief appearances in NASA's Spec Iron class and ChampCar's C class endurance racing.[2]

Smith's standing reflects closely matched competition against established professionals of note. He has run regularly alongside Sheldon Creed, the 2018 ARCA champion and a veteran of all three national NASCAR series, and Austin Hill, the 2020 Truck Series champion, with head-to-head records that favour neither driver decisively. In Cup Series starts he has finished ahead of both Denny Hamlin, 2025 Cup champion, and Ryan Blaney, an elite professional with a full-time Cup ride; these remain isolated results against the elite tier rather than a pattern of contention.
