Smith sponsors NASCAR driver
The number 19 Toyota Supra will be outfitted in the brand's signature color, camouflage, along with elements of the American flag and company name/battle cry "Yee Yee."
The debut of the Yee Yee entry will take place this at Saturday at the inaugural Circuit of the Americas Road Course race, located in Austin, near Georgetown, Texas where the lifestyle brand is based. The second race will be at the Xfinity Series playoff cutoff night race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sept. 17.
"As soon as we heard NASCAR was coming to our hometown, we knew we had to be a part of it somehow and wanted to represent our community here and Yee Yee Nation, both of which have done so much for us," said Smith. "Partnering with Brandon and a sport with such longstanding traditions is something truly special—we're thrilled to dive right in alongside our fellow NASCAR fans. You'll be hearing us yelling 'Yee Yee' all around the track."
Atlanta native Jones had his best season of his career in 2020 with three Xfinity Series wins and his first career Truck Series win. He notched a career-high 10 top-five and 19 top-10 finishes.
"It's always exciting to bring a new partner and unique brand like Yee Yee into the sport. Especially because I have been a customer of Yee Yee for years, and I am a big fan of Granger Smith," said Jones. "It just seems like a natural fit for me and my guys."

CD reviews for Granger Smith
Fearing that the 16 songs that made up "Country Things" would get lost on a single album, Granger Smith opted for an opus. Volume 1 begins with the title track; co-written by Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line. It begins with simple fiddle and a laundry list of G-rated country things. There is no mention of alcohol, women or pickups. He refreshingly opts for rope swings, corner stores and other pieces of Americana. It has the feeling of being inspired by the pandemic with its focus on ...
For his ninth studio album, "When The Good Guys Win," Granger Smith used outside writers for half the 14 tracks. It is appropriate that Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard has a co-write credit. Much like FGL's sound, this effort feels like it was presented to a focus group of contemporary country listeners for approval before the final cut. The production is glossy, the melodies catchy and the themes bro country.The opening track sets the tone for the 49-minute collection. ...
