Chandler Smith is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in both the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 20 Toyota for Venturini Motorsports, and the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, driving the No. 51 Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports.

Racing career

In 2013, Smith won the bandoleros national championship after two wins at Atlanta, one at Charlotte and the championship at Bethel Motor Speedway. In his ARCA Racing Series debut, Smith won the pole after qualifying was rained out at Nashville. He led 51 laps and finished 5th in his ARCA debut. In his fourth ARCA Series start, Smith dominated at Madison International Speedway and won his first race after leading the most laps.
On September 15, 2018, Smith dominated at Salem Speedway, leading nearly every lap to win his second race.
On November 2, 2018, it was announced that Smith would return to Venturini Motorsports for the 2019 season for 11 races. Smith will run mostly short track events due to age restrictions.
On February 21, 2019, Kyle Busch Motorsports announced that Smith would run a four-race NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series schedule in the team's Nos. 46 and 51 Toyota Tundras. In just his first truck series start at Iowa, he would capture the pole after qualifying would be rained out with the starting order based on owner's points. Smith would lead the initial 55 laps and finished 8th in the race.
Smith would return to Venturini part-time in the No. 20 for the third year in a row in 2020, with him in the car for 13 races while Ryan Repko would join the team that year to drive it in most of the races at the larger tracks such as Daytona where Smith was not able to compete at due to being under 18. Ten of Smith's races that year were part of the brand new Sioux Chief Showdown, which put him in contention to win that separate championship within the ARCA Series.
On March 3, 2020, Smith was announced to return to KBM part-time in the Truck Series for the 2020 season. He will run eight races, all in the No. 51, which will be at Richmond, Dover, Michigan, Gateway, Bristol, Las Vegas, Talladega, and the season finale at Phoenix.
