This week at Homestead-Miami Speedway Smith will get an early start behind the wheel of the No. 5 Chevrolet. Smith will join Danica Patrick (No. 7) and Cole Whitt (No. 88) as JR Motorsports fields three cars this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thrilled about this opportunity. Being a part of JR Motorsports and the direction it\u2019s heading means a lot to me. I think running at Homestead will give us a great head start on 2013,&#8221; said Smith.\u00a0 &#8220;Our goal is to be the team that dominates races and contends for a championship. Races like this go a long way in helping the driver and team get acclimated to each other. I know a lot of the guys at JRM already, so this weekend will be a lot of fun, too. I\u2019m looking forward to working with both Cole and Danica. I think there is a lot we all can learn from one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hendrickcars.com will be the primary sponsor of the car.
