*Update — We are continuing our partnership with G.R. Smith Motorsports and will be in the 22* to clear all speculation. We have a great working relationship. This is just a decision to step away from the World of Outlaws tour.
We’ve made the difficult decision to step away from the remaining points races on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series tour.
When our deal came together toward the end of the season, our intention was always to finish out the entire tour. However, a combination of crew availability and several other circumstances has made it clear that we need to make the decision that makes the most sense for our team at this time.
This was a team decision, and we truly believe it’s the right move for us moving forward. We’ll still be racing with the World of Outlaws when it makes sense for us throughout the remainder of the year, while also focusing on putting ourselves in the best position to be successful at the races we attend.
We also want to acknowledge what an incredibly difficult hand this has dealt G.R. Smith Motorsports. As a result of this decision, G.R. will ultimately lose his owner points, and that is something we are truly saddened by. We know how much time, effort, resources, and heart G.R. has poured into this opportunity, and we don’t take that lightly. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity he has given us and for the confidence he has placed in our team.
None of this would be possible without our incredible partners and sponsors who continue to believe in us and stand behind this team. We are incredibly thankful for every company and every person who has supported us throughout this journey.
We know this decision may come with questions, but sometimes you have to make the hard decisions that are best for your team. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, grateful for the opportunity we’ve been given, and excited about what’s still ahead.
Stay tuned for our upcoming schedule and the merchandise we have in the works!
Thank you to everyone who continues to stand behind Zack Mitchell Motorsports and G.R. Smith Motorsports. We appreciate you more than you know.

It’s Raceday for the G.R. Smith Motorsports 22*!
Bennett said he will grow into his shirt soon but for now he’s ready to see the “caas” at the track tonight!
We are not sure where he got his accent from but we are sure that we will be at Cherokee Speedway for the Stick Elliot Memorial! 🏁
See y’all there!
