Chandler Smith, after understanding he has no future at JGR, worked hard to secure a seat for the 2025 season. His initial moves ended in disappointment, and this resulted in him contemplating quitting racing and join his father in construction business. But now he will have his shot at redemption in the third tier of NASCAR.
