Smith Ti components were at the top of the class in this year’s Knoxville Nationals, anchoring top-tier performances from sprint car racing’s biggest stars.

The powerhouse duo of Kyle Larson and Paul Silva captured the 65th Knoxville Nationals title utilizing 100% of Smith Ti parts on their No. 57 sprint car. Their championship-winning configuration featured:

• The “BIG BOY” Brake System: Along with his Smith Ti master cylinder, this complete brake setup provides zero brake fade, enhanced stiffness and wider caliper slots, reducing pad wear while maintaining a rock-hard pedal feel.
• Front Axle Assembly: This complete assembly is engineered to maintain optimum front-end geometry through heavy track conditions.
• Titanium Rear Torsion Arms: These high-strength, ultra-lightweight components are designed for maximum rear-end compliance and traction.

Sheldon Haudenschild piloted his KPC Racing entry to a stellar runner-up performance, also leaning heavily on Smith Ti’s newest premium hardware. His sprinter relies on the exact same set up:

• The “BIG BOY” Brake System: This system is fine-tuned for front-to-rear brake percentages to prevent car twitching on entry, allowing drivers to smoothly rotate through the apex.
• Front Axle Assembly: This complete front axle system delivers optimized geometry to handle the cushions and ruts at Knoxville Raceway.

Both teams were fast all week. The competitive advantage with Smith Ti is that these parts are built by racers for racers and built with precision.

We are proud to be a small part of both these teams success this week at the biggest race of the year!
