For Smitty, the business and the passion go hand in hand.

Through Smitty’s Custom Automotive, he’s built more than just fast cars. He’s built a community of competitors he gets to work alongside both in the shop and at the track.

From maintaining his own build to helping keep other competitors running all season long, his work is part of what keeps the DriveUSCA paddock moving weekend after weekend.

When your passion becomes your profession, the competition means even more.

Speed won’t win Gearhead Classics Design and Engineering .

Austin Barnes breaks down why design and engineering play such a major role in overall standings and how overlooking the segment can cost competitors valuable points by the end of the weekend.

At DriveUSCA, it’s not just about being fast. It’s about building a complete package that performs on track and stands out in every category.

That attention to detail is what separates contenders from champions.

Drivers come for the competition.
They come back for the people.

Year after year, USCA becomes more than just race weekends, rankings, and lap times. It’s the friendships built in the paddock, the respect earned on track, and the community that keeps competitors coming back season after season.

Different cars. Different builds. One shared passion.

That’s what makes USCA different.

One of the things that makes USCA different is the willingness of competitors to help each other improve.

Jason Rollison talks about competitors sharing data, comparing notes, and working together to make everyone faster and better throughout the weekend.

At the end of the day, everyone wants to compete hard, but the community behind the competition is what keeps people coming back.

First event competing. Sixth or seventh event attending.

Braden Jones took home the Summit Racing Equipment Spirit of the Event Award at NOLA Motorsports. This is an award that recognizes the people who truly represent what the USCA is all about.

From being a familiar face in the paddock long before competing, to showing exceptional character throughout the weekend, Braden embodies the passion, respect, and community that make this series special.

Not every win comes easy.

After an accident on the way back from getting fuel, Jake Jackson showed up to grid with the hood and bumper missing from his car. Most people would have loaded up and called it a weekend.

Jake went back out anyway.

Through the damage, the setbacks, and the chaos, he kept pushing and drove his way to a win in Outlaw class. That is the kind of determination this series is built on.

Sometimes it is not about having the perfect car. It is about refusing to quit.

From childhood favorite to fan favorite.

Beth Conaway didn’t just build a Barbie-inspired car, she built a connection with the next generation of car enthusiasts. Now kids at events know her as “Barbie,” and she plans to keep it going.

That is what makes this community special. It is about more than performance. It is about personality, passion, and inspiring people to love cars in their own way.

Beth is owning it, and she is just getting started.
