Californian Zane Smith withstood multiple challenges and near calamity to score the victory in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series® season opener, the NextEra Energy 250 at DAYTONA International Speedway®.
Smith’s No. 38 Love’s Travel Stops Ford F-150 was out front as the field approached the white flag, but contact amongst the leaders set off a 17-truck pileup. On the ensuing restart, Smith was able to hold off the field to pick up his fourth career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series® victory.
