Allstate Peterbilt Group sponsoring Sammy Smith in 2 races

Allstate Peterbilt Group will sponsor Sammy Smith twice during the summer, JR Motorsports announced this week. It will first be the primary sponsor of the No. 8 Chevrolet at the Chicago Street Course, followed by Michigan International Speedway in July.

Smith has earned consecutive top-five finishes for the first time in his Xfinity Series career, entering this weekend’s race at Sonoma Raceway. In his rookie campaign last year for Joe Gibbs Racing, he finished sixth at Chicago and wrecked out early at Michigan.
