As the 2024 NASCAR season gets closer, JR Motorsports and Sammy Smith have been finalizing things. Like Smith’s new Pilot Flying J paint scheme. After all, Smith is going from the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota team to the No. 8 JR Motorsports Chevy team.
Lots of changes for Sammy Smith in 2024. The 2023 Xfinity Series Rookie of the Year is looking to improve on his first season. He will do that with a new team as he goes to JR Motorsports, who happens to be producing Cup Series talent at a high rate.
There are some minor changes – the biggest for this Pilot Flying J scheme has to be the number, of course. Smith dropped the 1 and kept the 8 for this new season.
JR Motorsports added more color to the hood and roof, as well as the B and C pillars. The number also changes from yellow to white in this scheme. To tell the truth, it’s an improvement over the JGR design.
