The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series hits Talladega Superspeedway today (Saturday, April 25) for qualifying ahead of the Ag-Pro 300.
This weekend's event comes after a dramatic ending to last weekend at Rockingham, with race winner Jesse Love disqualified post-race after his car failed NASCAR's technical inspections.
Smith's victory last weekend took him to eighth spot in the Xfinity Series standings, but he is still 130 points off current championship leader Justin Allgaier.
Amazingly, just 30 points separate Smith in eighth and Austin Hill in third, with Sam Meyer in second, albeit he too is some way off Allgaier, with an 87-point deficit to make up.
It will certainly be interesting to see how the standings look after Saturday's race at Talladega, and the action kicks off with qualifying this evening.
