Angie Smith has established herself as a formidable competitor in the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series Pro Stock Motorcycle category, becoming one of the leading female racers while competing alongside her husband Matt as the only husband-wife teammates in the sport.

EARLY YEARS

Born on June 14, 1979, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Angie began racing motorcycles in 2000, finding success in several regional series before joining Matt Smith Racing in 2008. Her marriage to Matt Smith in 2009 created one of the most unique partnerships in motorsports, with the couple building both a family and racing team together.

EARLY SUCCESS

Smith’s competitive racing career began in 2004 when she made her Pro Stock Motorcycle debut at Gainesville. Her breakthrough came in 2014 when she earned her first career win at Epping by defeating Matt, followed by another victory against Steve Johnson in Las Vegas in 2020. Her racing style evolved under Matt’s mentorship, demonstrating remarkable resilience when overcoming challenges, including entering the prestigious 200-mph club in 2021.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2022: Earned her career-best points result and finished third in the standings[3].
2024: Reached the final at the U.S. Nationals and Las Vegas fall event[1].
2024: Earned two runner-ups and two semifinal finishes in Pro Stock Motorcycle[3].
2024: Was the low qualifier in Pro Stock Motorcycle on Friday of the Toyota U.S. Nationals[1][5].
2024: Finished eighth in points despite missing an event due to injury[3].

REPUTATION

With over two decades in competition, Angie has built a reputation for determination and technical skill in the Pro Stock Motorcycle category. Her resilience was particularly evident when she returned to racing just weeks after a severe top-end wreck in St. Louis in 2023. Her impressive career statistics, including 206 Pro Stock Motorcycle races with a career-best E.T. of 6.723 seconds and top speed of 203.06 mph, have established her credibility in a male-dominated sport, inspiring a generation of female racers.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Looking beyond the current season, Smith aims to win a championship in the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle class. She continues to deepen her technical knowledge by working in the shop daily, learning more about motorcycle mechanics and engine assembly to complement her racing skills. Her partnership with DENSO Products and Services Americas, Inc. is expected to continue supporting her long-term competitive goals in the sport.
