Mooresville, NC - Georgia native Andrew Smith is taking a major step forward in his racing career by moving up to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East at the season opening event at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on March 27th. Smith is set to pilot the #37 for the Spraker Racing Enterprises team owned by Jeff Spraker of Mooresville, NC.

In 2009, Andrew was the first driver to earn the prestigious “Golden Wheel Award” as the winner of the inaugural Humpy’s Heroes Development Program. He started racing at age 8 and won his first championship at 9. Since those early days, Andrew has racked up over 200 wins, the 2009 Georgia Legends Road Course Championship, the 2009 Georgia Legends Dirt Championship, as well as the 2008 Legends National Championship.

Smith comments: “I am looking forward to the opportunity to take this next step in my career. I was very comfortable in the car during our test session, and I know that I will have proven equipment from the Spraker Racing operation.” The #37 team hopes to capitalize on their past experience at the Greenville-Pickens facility – owner Jeff Spraker states: “Andrew has a strong short-track background and this track should be the perfect match for that experience. We’re looking forward to working with him this year as he runs for Rookie of the Year in this competitive series.”

Spraker Racing Enterprises is a full-service racing operation, and currently owns and prepares cars in the NASCAR K&N Pro East Series, as well as the ARCA Racing Series. Jeff Spraker has been an owner, driver and consultant for over 25 years, and has established a strong reputation for the development of young talent, utilizing a driver’s perspective for coaching coupled with years of “hands on” technical experience.
