Since 1985

Our Story

Smith Family Racing isn't a business that happens to race. It's a family that's been racing for four generations.

Where it started · 1985–1997

Chuck Smith Jr.

Chuck started racing in 1985 and spent more than a decade at Colorado National Speedway and Rocky Mountain Speedway. Along the way he won more than 50 races, finished top 5 in points on the national circuit in 1994, and finished top 5 in points a combined nine times across two series.

After retiring from driving in 1997, he moved to the crew chief role, and he's been building fast cars for his kids and grandkids ever since.

The modified program

Jacob & Jordon

Brothers Jacob and Jordon carry the team's modified program. Jacob has been the team's steady force at Colorado National Speedway, leading the championship for much of 2022, finishing third in 2023, and taking the team to national tours.

Jordon races the modifieds too and leads the team's marketing, and the two co-host Hittin' the Chip together.

The next generation

Nora & Addie

In 2023, Nora became the first of the fourth generation to race, in the #29 Bandolero. Addie followed in 2025 in the #8. Both are learning from three generations of Smiths, in the garage and at the track.

2026 · A new chapter

Now racing in Tennessee

In 2026, Jordon moved his family to Prospect, Tennessee. It's opened up a new region of short tracks, a new community to be part of, and create a whole new chapter of memories.

What's next

More tracks, more miles, and more of the community that's made this team what it is. In 2027, look for the cars at races across the Southeast and Colorado, plus local events like car shows, parades and festivals.
