TRICON Garage (TRICON) announced that it has signed Sammy Smith and Dawson Sutton to its full-time driver roster for the 2027 NASCAR FedEx Freight Truck Series (NFXFTS) season.
Smith, who has spent the past four seasons competing full-time in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series (NOAPS), will take over the No. 15 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro and contest his first full Truck Series schedule. The 22-year-old driver brings a wealth of experience to TRICON, having earned 4 wins, 30 top-fives and 66 top-10s in NOAPS competition, along with 1 win, 3 top-fives and seven top-10s in his 11 career Truck starts.
