Before Jared made his way to full size formula cars, he was a regional winner and semifinalist in the Red Bull Driver
search in 2005. The Red Bull Driver search was a program like “American Idol” for racecar drivers. Red Bull was trying to
find an American driver to race for them in the World Championship in Formula One. Jared was involved with Red Bull for
some time after the search, but dropped them early in 2007.
In his early years Jared raced pavement and dirt oval karts, completing kart racing with 86 feature wins. While racing
karts he raced in the most prestigious circuit, the World Karting Association [WKA] Dunlop Road Racing Series. He ran
both Sprint and Enduro World National races at Gateway, Putnam Park (Indianapolis), Road America and Daytona
With this experience in hand Jared is ready for a successful 2010 season, racing asphalt late model stock cars full-time
for Win Smith Racing Enterprises. Win Smith Racing Enterprises is a racing organization out of central Kentucky that has
been involved in the sport since 1976, having success in many different forms of automobile racing.
Jared in conjunction with Win Smith Racing Enterprises are hoping to run a limited Camping World Truck or Nationwide
Series schedule should funding become available

Jared Smith is a graduate from the University of Kentucky Gatton School of Business. He completed his 4 year Business Administration degree in 3 1/2 years with a 3.9 GPA. At the age of only 21, he has 13 years of racing experience. In his career he has been extremely successful in many different types of racecars. Jared currently races an asphalt late model, which he competes regularly against NASCAR drivers who race late models as their schedule permits. In 2009 Jared accomplished his first late model pole position and had two top five finishes with seven top ten finishes in eleven starts. There was only one DNF and two races he was unable to qualify due to mechanical issues during practice. One highlight of the 2009 season was finishing eleventh at the Touchstone Energy 100 in his first start at The Salem Speedway in Salem IN. Jared fought back after a mid race incident that cost him time in the pits. This track has long been recognized as one of the toughest tracks in the country.
