Smith began driving full-time in the Hooters Pro Cup Series in 2000, finishing his first season with five top-ten finishes and a single top-five finish, which came atMyrtle Beach in May.[4] He returned to the series in 2001, starting from the pole atThompson,Louisville,IRP, andChemung.[5]
Smith began his NASCAR career in 2002, making hisNASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut atSouth Boston in the No. 63Ford F-150 forMB Motorsports. He qualified 28th but had engine issues mid-race and finished 29th. In October, Smith made hisNASCAR Busch Series debut atMemphis, driving in the No. 07Chevrolet Monte Carlo forEd Whitaker. Smith qualified 16th in his Busch debut, but would finish in 39th after a wreck. He made one last start during the 2002 season in the Craftsman Truck Series atPhoenix, again racing for MB Motorsports. Smith qualified 12th for the race, finishing in 30th place after ignition issues ended his race early.
In 2003, Smith joinedBost Motorsports in an attempt to run a full-time season for the team, starting atRockingham.[6] Despite a lack of sponsorship, Smith had three top twenty finishes and was second place in the Rookie of the Year standings halfway through the season. However, following the July race at Daytona, Bost and Smith parted ways, the team opting to run a rotating door of drivers for the remainder of the season.[7] Smith returned atPikes Peak, driving the No. 47 Chevrolet Monte Carlo forInnovative Motorsports. He qualified 29th for the race, finishing 40th after having ignition issues. To finish the season, Smith joined Mac Hill Motorsports, driving the No. 56 Chevrolet Monte Carlo at the season finale atHomestead.

He made six straight races with the team. AtNazareth, Smith practiced and qualified the No. 38Dodge Charger forAkins Motorsports driverKasey Kahne, who was with his Winston Cup team during that time.[10] The following race atCharlotte, Smith would fail to qualify for the race and was released by the team.[11] His best finish for Mac Hill Motorsports came atNashville Superspeedway, where he finished 17th. Holigan Racing hired Smith for three races. During this time, Smith appeared in a few episodes ofThe Reality of Speed onSpikeTV, which was a reality show that followed the team. The team would suspend operations mid-season.Phoenix Racing hired Smith to run the No. 1 Dodge Charger for the race at Pikes Peak, where he qualified 19th and finished in 15th. AtMemphis, Smith would again practice and qualify a car for a Nextel Cup Series driver, this time doing so forGreg Biffle's No. 60Roush Racing Ford.[12]
Smith made a return to the Craftsman Truck Series for the season finale at Homestead, driving the No. 06Chevrolet Silverado forMRD Motorsports. After qualifying 25th, Smith drove through the field and finished in 9th place, his first top-ten in NASCAR competition.[13]
Smith began the 2005 season in the Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 19 Chevrolet forXpress Motorsports. However, after being caught up in a wreck in the season opener at Daytona, blowing an engine atFontana, and then failing to qualify for the race atAtlanta, Smith was let go from the team after failing to find sponsorship. Smith was hired soon after byGlynn Motorsports to drive the team's No. 65Dodge Ram beginning atMansfield. After moderate success in four races with the team, Smith was moved to Glynn's Busch Series team, replacing a strugglingBrent Sherman in the No. 58 Dodge in an attempt to keep the car above 30th in points.[14] Smith found some success during the season, finishing 15th at Nashville,Loudon, andGateway and qualifying in the top-ten six times.[15] Despite this success, Smith was released by the team before the series finale.
Smith finished the season back in the Craftsman Truck Series, returning to the No. 06 Chevrolet for MRD Motorsports for three races. During this stretch of races, Smith struggled, finishing 29th at Atlanta before wrecking out atTexas and having a mechanical issue at the season finale at Homestead.[16]
In November 2005, Smith signed withTeam Rensi Motorsports to run the 2006 Busch Series full-time in the team's No. 35McDonald's sponsored Ford, replacingJason Keller.[17] He successfully ran the entire season with the team, finishing the season with one top-ten, a 10th place finish at Charlotte, ending the season 20th in points. In October 2006,Ginn Racing ownerBobby Ginn announced that Smith would begin testing with the team with the goal to move him to theNextel Cup Series 16-race part-time for the 2007 season, sharing the No. 01 Chevrolet withMark Martin.[18]
Smith attempted his first career Cup race at the2007 Daytona 500, in a fourth car, numbered 39, forGinn Racing. After qualifying 25th fastest in the field, Smith entered theGatorade Duels 8th fastest of the drivers not locked in and failed to qualify after finishing 19th in his Duel. During this time, Smith also raced the No. 4 part-time for Ginn Racing in the Busch Series, getting his first top-ten of the season at Fontana.[19]
His Cup debut came at theFood City 500 at Bristol, which was also the debut race of theCar of Tomorrow.[20] Smith qualified 12th for the race, and finished 25th after struggling on pit road.[21][22] Smith clinched his first top-five of the season in the Busch Series race at Nashville. In July, Ginn Racing released full-time driversJoe Nemechek andSterling Marlin midseason and announced that the team had added the rest of the season to Smith's schedule before promoting him to full-time for the 2008 season.[23] However, before Smith could run another race, Ginn Racing merged withDale Earnhardt, Inc. Due to the merge, the No. 14's owner points were transferred toPaul Menard's No. 15, and the No. 14 was shut down, leaving Smith without a ride.[24] Smith finished out the 2007 season in the Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 47 Chevrolet forMorgan Dollar Motorsports.
Smith returned to the No. 01 full-time in 2008, as Mark Martin moved over to the No. 8 alongsideAric Almirola to replaceDale Earnhardt Jr.. Since he didn't reach the minimum number of starts to be considered for Rookie of the Year, Smith was eligible to be Rookie of the Year in 2008. In October, Smith was a part of a controversial finish at Talladega, where he crossed the line first but later had the win taken away and given toTony Stewart after NASCAR determined that Smith went below the yellow line to make the race-winning pass. After the race, Smith claimed that the reason he went below the yellow line was because Stewart had pushed him down there.[25]
Smith raced 34 of 36 races in 2008, as DEI ranRoad course ringerRon Fellows in Smith's car during the races atWatkins Glen andSonoma. Despite missing two races and finishing the season with no top-ten finishes, Smith won the 2008Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year award overSam Hornish Jr. andPatrick Carpentier. On top of that, Smith became the first rookie driver in NASCAR Cup history to notDNF in any starts his rookie season.
After the 2008 season, DEI shut down the No. 01 after merging with Chip Ganassi Racing's NASCAR operation, and Smith was released. On January 14, 2009, he signed withFurniture Row Racing to drive the No. 78 for its part-time 2009 slate of races. He made eighteen of twenty attempts with the team, and was hired to drive for the team full-time in 2010, with the team being offeredRichard Childress Racing chassis andHendrick Motorsports engines.
In 2010, he did not score any top tens. His best finish was twelfth (twice), but he still finished 28th in the point standings, his best of his career. The team changed engine providers, becoming a user of Earnhardt-Childress Racing Technologies (a joint venture of his former DEI team and Childress Racing) engines for the 2011 season, withStewart–Haas Racing offering pit crews.
At the2011 Daytona 500, Smith returned to the No. 78 car. Smith finished seventh after crashing in the final laps while battling for the lead. Although disappointing, he was able to come back and finish seventh in the first top-ten finish of his Cup Series career and for Furniture Row Racing.
On May 7, 2011, at theShowtime Southern 500 atDarlington Raceway, Smith won his first Sprint Cup race, holding offCarl Edwards at the end. On a late caution, Smith stayed out on older tires while Edwards and most of the lead lap cars pitted for fresh right side tires. Smith fended off Edwards for two restarts to claim the first cup win of his career atDarlington Raceway. Smith, in recalling the Talladega race he lost in 2008, said he was not worried about it anymore, and said the Darlington win meant more to him than what he would have experienced at Talladega. The win was somewhat overshadowed by a post-race altercation betweenKyle Busch andKevin Harvick. It was only the third time a driver had won his first Sprint Cup race atDarlington Raceway, the first beingTerry Labonte in 1980, the second beingLake Speed in 1988.
At the2011 Brickyard 400, Smith had enough fuel to end with a solid 3rd-place finish by passingJamie McMurray on the last lap, for his second top five of 2011. His former teammatePaul Menard ended up winning the race. Also, a strong run atNew Hampshire Motor Speedway proved that Smith was ready for the Sprint Cup Series with another top ten position. At the fall race atTalladega Superspeedway, Smith was accidentally turned byMark Martin and smashed extremely hard head-on into the wall. Smith was able to walk away from the crash uninjured but said the crash was one of his hardest wrecks in his career.
In 2012 when theDaytona 500 frustrated many fans and NASCAR officials because of a long rain delay on the planned date, a rain delay in the morning, and then the bizarre fire red flag delay caused byJuan Pablo Montoya's crash into a jet dryer in turn three on lap 160, Smith told the public he was so happy and excited for the first time in his career to leave Daytona that night. Smith had been involved in a crash on lap 188 involving several other drivers, but was able to continue on the lead lap.
At the2012 Irwin Tools Night Race, Smith had gotten through two cautions that resulted inRyan Newman and Tony Stewart crashing out of the race[citation needed] until he ended up spinningDanica Patrick away from a top ten finish. Patrick crashed head-on, and when climbing out of her car, before leaving with officials, she thought about tossing her helmet at Smith's car like Stewart had done toMatt Kenseth previously in the past caution, but instead vented her anger/fury by wagging her finger at him when he came by to lap her down. After the race, Smith maintained that he did not intentionally crash her, while Patrick believed he did, and both left Bristol without any penalties.
It was announced on September 24, 2012, that Smith would not be returning toFurniture Row Racing for the 2013 season. He was replaced byKurt Busch.[26] In his last start for FRR, in the fall race at Talladega, Smith had a fifth-place finish after clearing a 23-car crash in turn four on the last lap.
Smith was set to finish the 2012 season by swapping rides with Busch, with Busch taking over Smith's No. 78 and Smith taking over the unsponsored No. 51 Chevrolet atPhoenix Racing, but Smith was announced on October 11, 2012, as the replacement driver forDale Earnhardt Jr. in the works team's No. 88 Chevrolet for theCharlotte andKansas Chase races after Earnhardt was diagnosed with a concussion after his testing crash atKansas Speedway in August and after involvement in the same last lap crash during theGood Sam Club 500 atTalladega on October 7, 2012, so for these two races, Smith was replaced in the No. 51 byA. J. Allmendinger. Qualifying 26th and performing well during both practice sessions, Smith had a top ten car before the engine failed for the first time on the No. 88 team in the season, and finished the race in the 38th position. In the following race at Kansas, Smith performed well and managed to muster a top ten finish. Earnhardt returned to the 88 atMartinsville. Allmendinger would drive the No. 51 at Martinsville and Texas, while Smith drove the car at Phoenix and Homestead. On November 17, Smith won the Ford EcoBoost 300 in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, driving the No. 5 Hendrickcars.com Chevy for JR Motorsports. It is his first career NASCAR Nationwide Series win in his first and only start of 2012. Prior to the win at Homestead Miami, his last start came in 2007.
For 2013, Smith returned to the Nationwide Series, driving the No. 7 forJR Motorsports.[27] On the final lap at the season-openingDRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona, Smith was leading while heading into the final turn, but when he attempted to blockBrad Keselowski, but then spun up the track, causing a twelve-car crash that injured 28 fans.[28] On May 4, Smith got his second Nationwide Series victory at theAaron's 312 atTalladega; Smith,Joey Logano andKasey Kahne were racing three-wide to the finish, and despite Kahne crossing first, Smith had been the leader at the time of the caution coming out.[29] AtMichigan's Nationwide race, Smith took the lead with thirteen laps remaining afterParker Kligerman pitted, and Smith held offKyle Larson for his third Nationwide victory.[30] On September 6, Smith stepped into the No. 48Hendrick Motorsports car forJimmie Johnson in practice and qualifying for theFederated Auto Parts 400 atRichmond, since Johnson was awaiting his second child's birth.[31]
