🇺🇸 Regan Smith

Regan Smith is an established professional competing part-time in NASCAR's national single-class championships. He races the No. 25 Ram 1500 for Kaulig Racing in the NASCAR Truck Series, where he has made 14 starts since 2017. Smith spent the bulk of his career in NASCAR Xfinity, where he drove for Joe Gibbs Racing across 208 starts from 2002 to 2019, winning six races and taking 18 podiums on a circuit mix heavily weighted toward ovals. His 11 NASCAR Cup Series starts came in 2018.[1]

Smith's record centers on sustained mid-field consistency in Xfinity rather than front-running success. He finished 34th in the championship standings in his final Xfinity season, 2019. Against J.J. Yeley, an entry-level professional regular opponent with 403 Xfinity starts, Smith ran closely matched; against Kyle Busch, a Platinum-graded champion of five Xfinity titles and the 2019 Cup Series, Smith typically finished behind him across their regular head-to-heads. Smith has beaten drivers of far greater standing in single meetings; he finished ahead of Denny Hamlin, the 2025 Cup Series champion, 21 times, and ahead of Christopher Bell, the 2024 Cup Series champion and 2017 Truck Series champion, twice.[2]

Smith shares the grid with elite and established professionals in his Truck starts, a field that also runs younger amateurs and semi-professionals. His return to racing after a nine-year break came in 2026, when he took a two-race Ram program with Kaulig Racing at Bristol and Charlotte.
