Retakes Regular Season Points Lead
Zane Smith and the No. 38 Speedco team came home from the Kansas Speedway regaining the lead in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series regular season points. Smith, who is actually tied with fellow Ford F-150 driver Ty Majeski with 323 points, has the advantage and top spot with two wins.
Smith retook the points lead after finishing third and fifth in his stages. The Speedco team led for six laps.
Zane Smith, Driver No. 38 Speedco Ford F-150:
“There were a lot of people out there who shouldn’t have been out there. But, the pit crew did a fantastic job of always getting us track position. Just couldn’t really choose the right lane there, and that final restart, just probably should have protected the bottom a little bit better. Just didn’t think he was going to be able to clear me while we were wide-open. It is what it is. Fast forward: Kind of gave it to the No. 23 there.” WHAT WAS THE PIT STRATEGY IN STAGE 1, WHEN YOU STAYED OUT DURING THE PIT CYCLE? “I don’t think we assumed that many people would come down. But, it worked out for us. I hate to see the other Ford have a bad day, Ty [Majeski]’s day. But, we fortunately capitalized on stage points and had a good day at the end of the day. So, it was a good points day.”
The Front Row Motorsports NASCAR CRAFTSMAN truck team will next visit the Darlington Raceway on Friday, May 12. The race is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on FS1.
