[autotag]Spire Motorsports[/autotag]’ hot start to the 2024 NASCAR Truck Series season got even better on Wednesday morning. The NASCAR organization announced that [autotag]Sammy Smith[/autotag] will drive the No. 7 truck in select races during the 2024 Truck Series season. Smith is currently in his first full-time season with JR Motorsports in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
The 19-year-old driver will debut with Spire Motorsports at Martinsville Speedway next weekend. Smith will also compete at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 18, Lucas Oil Raceway on July 19, and the Milwaukee Mile on August 25. This comes after Kyle Busch brought the No. 7 truck to victory lane at Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier in the year.

Spire Motorsports is filling out its No. 7 entry well. Busch, Smith, and Connor Zilisch are notable drivers in the truck during the 2024 NASCAR season. With immense talent behind the wheel, the No. 7 truck is not done winning races this season. Smith should have an excellent opportunity to win as he remains one of the Xfinity Series’ best short-track talents.
