COMPETITION NOTES:
Smith and the No. 38 Fr8Auctions.com Ford F-150 team have come out of the gate strong to start the 2023 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. Smith won at the Daytona International Speedway and finished second to Kyle Busch at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the first two races.
The team has an additional stage win and six playoff points to lead the series.
The team is also atop the regular season points chase by two points.
CREW CHIEF CHRIS LAWSON:
“We wanted to be strong to start the season and we need to continue this start this weekend at Atlanta. The more points we can collect, and especially more playoff points, it will help us later in the season. The best way to do that is to win the race for Fr8 Auctions.”
DRIVER ZANE SMITH:
“This new racing at Atlanta is wild. You are drafting and making moves like Daytona or Talladega. It worked for us at Daytona and hopefully it works again on Saturday.
“We all know at FRM it’s a big weekend for Fr8 Auctions. We’re trying to get them into victory lane at their home track and race.”
