Both Payton and Austin would be better off not messing that idiot. Hopefully he(Smith) has probably burnt his last bridge. He doesn't belong behind the wheel of a race car IMO

Any driver who does what GR did should be banned from all tracks in the US FOREVER

If I'm the owner, it's simple, you use my car as you did I don't want to have anything to do with you. Bye.

Confirmed, Freeman has parted ways with G.R. Smith per his Facebook page. Is it time to change GR's nickname to "Hammerhead"?

I was so glad to see this morning where Payton Freeman HAS parted ways with G.R. Smith and will be back in the family F1 very soon. I started watching him last summer on the Summer Nationals tour and became a big fan. He represented himself very well and showed a lot of class. He tore up some equipment, but learned some lessons and grew up quite a bit. I was actually disappointed when I heard that he was going to drive for G.R. back last fall. G.R.'s deals never seem to work out good for anyone.

Got to see Freeman run really well in Summernationals at Peoria and Davenport. Hope to see him back in Midwest. Lots of racing in Iowa and Illinois this year. Can’t wait.

This coming from the tshirt guy??? I love how he says people see what they want to see…….he’s people, right?
Guess he sees what he wants to see.

The rubbing, sliders etc was just those two doing what those two do….clearly this is personal and neither is without blame here. They all deserve each other.

Winger and Guard Rail deserved each other, and that’s not a compliment to either.

He also has a couple of equipment rental places, dumpster rental business, etc. He is into a lot, not afraid to make money. His tow company is extremely successful; congrats to him-always been extremely nice when I have spoken with him. Pretty sure he will make money on this transaction as well!

What does Kohler have to do with this thread? Did he buy out GR Smith? Is this also Jimmy Owens car owner?

From his wiki page......


G. R. is Smith's nickname, and it stands for "Great Racer".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._R._Smith

Pretty sure he wrote that sh!t himself, lol.

That's for sure, another hilarious part of it is that he gave up a career in the NHL just to race. "Smith also played ice hockey in college and could have had an NHL career, but was in a better position to have a career in racing, so he stuck with that afterwards."

Thought he was in a better position to keep more original teeth in racing than hockey. Oh the irony.

I got a message from Wikipedia saying I was engaged in an "Edit War". It went on to explain what an Edit War was and a bunch of other hilarious stuff. I'm sure you'll get one as well.

Yes, I got the "edit war" email as well. I think Guard Rail is a much more deserved nickname than "Great racer".
