Bladely Smith Racing

The beginning to now!

As we get closer to Nationals, we just want to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to every single person who has donated, shared our fundraisers, and supported Bladely. Every single donation, no matter the amount, means more to our family than words could ever explain. The love and generosity you all have shown us reminds us that we aren’t doing this alone. 💙

Behind every lap, every race, every early morning to late nights, and every dream is a family working hard to make it all happen (mainly dad who does it all behind the scenes). As parents, there is nothing more special than watching your child chase a dream, and we are doing everything we can in our power to help Bladely chase his. 🏁💨

One day, we hope Bladely looks back on these moments and realizes just how many people believed in him, supported him, and helped him chase his dreams. We will never forget the people who stood behind him along the way.

Now let’s go make some memories at Nationals! 🧡
Big dreams start with little racers! 🏆🤞🏼

My buddy was killing it this weekend!! 🤙🏼

What a weekend for Nick and the 986! 🔥🏁

Friday night, Nick and the crew made the trip to East Lincoln Speedway- Karts, and the speed was there from the moment we unloaded. Nick drove his way to the Jr. 2 victory and laid down the fastest lap out of all the junior karts! 💪⚡

We got the karts cleaned up, loaded back in the trailer, and headed to Hanging Rock to try our luck there for the first time! Right away, Nick fell in love with it, and the speed showed.

🏁 Jr. 1 Warm: Qualified P1
🏁 Jr. 1 Pro: Qualified P2 (the tire man and driver weren’t quite on the same page 😂)

Come main time Nick was determined and on a mission - bringing home the win in both mains! Nick had one thing on his mind—WINNING.

🥇 Jr. 1 Warm Winner
🥇 Jr. 1 Pro Winner

That’s 3 wins in 2 nights and another incredible weekend for this young driver. We’re so proud of his determination, confidence, and the way he keeps learning every time he hits the track.

A huge thank you to everyone who supports Nick and helps make weekends like this possible. On to the next one! 💚🏁

We learned a lot this weekend, both on and off the track at Talladega, and I couldn't be more proud of Bladely.

The way he drove proved he belongs with some of the best junior drivers in the country!

We unloaded with the 4th fastest kart out of a stacked 16-kart field. Before qualifying, the track completely changed, and I missed the gear setup, which put us starting 12th. It definitely wasn't how we drew it up, but Bladely never let it bother him—he put his head down and went to work.

In the first Prelude feature, we still weren't 100% on the gear, and we finished in 9th. Even then, we knew we had more speed than we were showing.

The Pro race was a different story. Bladely avoided two nasty wrecks and drove his way up to 4th. He was setting up a pass for 3rd when the 2nd-place kart got turned, creating a chain reaction that shuffled us back to 8th with just two laps to go. Sometimes racing just doesn't go your way.

The results may not show it, but this weekend was a huge step forward. Watching Bladely work so hard, study the track, stay on the fence learning every chance he got, and never give up made me prouder than any trophy ever could.

We'll take everything we learned, do our homework, make the kart better, make ourselves better, and come back stronger. This kid has the heart, the determination, and the talent. His time is coming.

Thank you to everyone who supports us and believes in Bladely. We're just getting started. 🏁💪
