Zane Smith Wins United Rentals 200 At Martinsville Speedway, Moves To Championship Race In Phoenix

With heading into today's race in Martinsville, Zane Smith had only one option to advance, Win. Smith was running three-wide with Todd Gilliland and Stewart Friesen for the lead when Friesen made contact with Gilliland and spun Gilliland as the field took the white flag in overtime. Smith pulled ahead in Turn 1 as Friesen spun into the wall, bringing out the caution. Since the field had taken the white flag, the caution ended the race.



“It was definitely wild to say the least,” Smith said about the win. “I knew with me being third, I was in a really good spot. Speed-wise, I don’t think we had anything for the 38, I think he had fresher tires than us. I was worried with it staying green. For the final restart, I had the 16 behind me and kind of got him upset at the start of the race and I got flipped off on Lap 2.”


“I am looking for a job right now. I have nothing,” Smith said in Victory Lane. “It’s a good day. When you’re in a must-win, it’s kind of in your favor, just because of how aggressive you can be.”


Zane Smith, Ben Rhodes, Matt Crafton and John Hunter Nemechek will duel in the desert in the Championship 4. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will decide their championship next weekend in Phoenix.
