Garrett Smithley (born April 27, 1992) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 0 Chevrolet Camaro for JD Motorsports, and part-time in the Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 63 Chevrolet Silverado for MB Motorsports. Smithley has also competed in the ARCA Racing Series.[1]

Racing career

Smithley began his racing career in 2007 in Bandolero cars at Atlanta Motor Speedway, and Lanier National Speedway, and won the rookie of the year in 2008.

Xfinity Series

Smithley made his Xfinity Series debut in the final race of 2015, at Homestead driving the No. 70 Chevrolet Camaro for Derrike Cope Racing, started 34th, and finished 28th.[2]

In February 16, 2016, it was announced that Smithley would race for JD Motorsports, driving the No. 0 Chevrolet Camaro, and will also compete for the rookie of the year honors.[3] At Talladega, Smithley came under fire from Joey Gase for turning Chris Cockrum and sending the two spinning, ending both of the latter drivers' races. Gase called the move "a rookie mistake" and said he tried to avoid Smithley on the track. Smithley claimed no malicious intent after the accident happened.

Camping World Truck Series

Smithley made his Truck series debut at his home track, Atlanta Motor Speedway, driving the No. 63 Chevrolet Silverado for MB Motorsports. He made three more starts in the 2015 season, scoring a high finish of 14th at Michigan.[4] He returned to Atlanta with MB Motorsports for his first start of 2016, finishing 18th.[5]

ARCA Racing Series

Smithley competed in three events in 2013, driving Derrike Cope's cars. His one start in 2014 was an 18th at Talladega for Wes Gonder. In 2014, his one start for Rick Ware was hampered by engine problems.[6][7][8]
