Once you pop, you can’t stop. Sammy Smith will be living in potato crisp heaven as the NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Martinsville Speedway next month. Smith will pilot a No. 18 Toyota Supra for Joe Gibbs Racing with the iconic Pringles brand on the hood of the car.
Pilot Flying J, a longtime partner of Smith’s will be featured on the quarter panels of the race car. According to a post from Smith on X, the Pringles sponsorship seems to be in partnership with Pilot Flying J, as they are running some special Pringles promotions.
I’m excited to announce that Pringles® will be riding with me at Martinsville! I couldn't ask for a tastier partner on the track. Pilot has some special promotions for all you Pringles® fans out there. Stay tuned for more information!

The front bumper of the car is white, and the remainder of the car, aside from an accent stripe on the bottom of each side of the car is ready. Behind the front wheels will be a cascading group of Pringles chips.
It’s a really cool, paint scheme, which was designed by BLACKBEARD LTD.
Smith, 19, has scored a victory this season, which came at Phoenix Raceway, and he currently sits seventh in the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship standings.
While the young racer drove in nine races a year ago, he is in the running for the Rookie of the Year Award in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this season, and the battle is down to a pair of Smiths — Sammy and Chandler.
In addition to the victory, Smith has picked up four top-five finishes and 11 top-10s in 27 starts this season.
