Part-time Truck Series driver Jack Smith suspended
NASCAR announced that it has indefinitely suspended Camping World Truck Series driver Jack Smith for actions detrimental to stock car racing for an alleged rules violation that occurred July 23, according to a news release.
Smith, who drove for the Mittler Brothers in three races this year, with a best of 14th at Kansas, has extensive experience in the American Speed Association Late Model Series.
NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said the sanctioning body was recently informed of an arrest of Smith.
According to the state of Missouri’s criminal online docket, a Jack Smith with the same hometown and birth date as the driver had a warrant issued for him July 23 on three felony charges of fraudulently attempting to obtain a controlled substance. The warrant was served July 26. Bond was set at $10,000 and paid July 27.
The arresting agency was the Wentzville (Mo.) Police Department. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Oct. 12 in Missouri.
