Na sexta-feira ele ganhou na Truck Series. No sábado, repetiu: Sammy Smith venceu a etapa da NASCAR O'Reilly em Talladega, quarta vitória da carreira e a primeira da temporada 2026, ao passar Carson Kvapil na volta derradeira e cruzar com 0s084 de vantagem.
O #8 da JR Motorsports chegou ao bote depois de um empurrão decisivo de Jesse Love. “Estou sem fôlego”, disse. “Foi mentalmente desgastante. Só quero agradecer a todos.”
Sobre o fim de prova, foi específico: “E achei que [meu spotter ] fez um ótimo trabalho lá em cima, me ajudando a me posicionar. E, obrigado ao Jesse [ Love ] por me empurrar. Tenho certeza de que sou o maior fã dele agora, ajudando — na verdade, estou simplesmente feliz por todos nesta Chevrolet PILOT #8 . Este ano tem sido difícil. Obrigado a todos”.
Love, líder do campeonato, foi terceiro; Allgaier quarto e Creed quinto. Day, Perkins, Thompson, Jones e Alfredo completaram os dez primeiros. Faltando duas provas, a diferença do líder para Allgaier é de 19 pontos; Day aparece 29 atrás.
A corrida começou com Finch na ponta e virou fila única no alto do circuito. Kvapil passou a liderar pela parte de fora e a JRM neutralizou os ataques, levando o primeiro segmento — com Day na frente por instantes e a RCR pagando penalidades no intervalo.
Allgaier ganhou o segundo segmento depois de Love e Hill brigarem na pista, o que custou pontos ao líder do campeonato.
No terceiro, um toque entre H. Burton e Tay Gray rodou Gray no tri-oval e provocou confusão atrás, com Jones, Hill e Honeyman atingidos. Faltando pouco mais de 20 voltas, detritos na pista e rodopios isolados trouxeram a bandeira amarela; os líderes decidiram não parar nos boxes. A relargada veio a 16 voltas do fim: Hill murchou um pneu e Finch bateu sozinho.
Na última volta, Mayer tentou por dentro, Kvapil defendeu, e Smith cortou para baixo do líder com o empurrão de Love para selar a vitória.
