KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) – Regan Smith still harbors dreams of driving for a Sprint Cup team again. He just isn’t in such a hurry to get there that he was willing to give up a pretty sweet gig.
Smith has agreed to a one-year extension with JR Motorsports to continue driving in the Nationwide Series, which will be rebranded the Xfinity Series next season.
Smith, who is second in points heading into Saturday’s race at Kansas Speedway, said that the opportunity to continue driving for Dale Earnhardt Jr. on a championship-caliber team was a big enough incentive to put less certain Sprint Cup opportunities on hold.
Smith has three wins over the past two seasons for JR Motorsports.
