Smith, 33, is married with two young boys. The Florida native is gunning for the Sunoco Super Car Series Eastern Championship. “All of my time and effort will be devoted to a championship run,” said Jack Smith.

“The idea of running for the championship is great. We have the best engines and carburetors provided to us by R & R Carb Service, excellent chassis's provided by Predator Race Cars, and a team willing to put forth the effort to win,” said team owner Dave Ehret.

Also in 2003, sponsors for Ehret Motorsports will receive an added bonus with the addition of Left Turn Only Promotions. This is a team of highly motivated professionals led by Dave's son, Douglas Ehret, whose job will be to promote the sponsors products at special promotional events.

“With such great sponsors like Rapid Response Restoration, M & E Body Shop, R & R Carb Service, Summit Racing, Amsoil, Power-Max Powder Coatings, and new sponsors Terry's Detail Shop, Republic Mortgage Blnc, and XS Energy Drink, I believed we had to give them more. This marketing team will be at major car events, store openings and any event with a large number of potential customers for our sponsors.”

The 2003 Sunoco Super Series season begins on Saturday, April 19, at the quarter-mile oval of Anderson Speedway.
