CHANDLER SMITH RACING PHOTO
Ford got its first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory last weekend when Chandler Smith passed Corey Heim with 14 laps to go and won at Bristol Motor Speedway. Smith, who survived two late race restarts to win his first race with Ford, gave Front Row Motorsports its 11th all-time series win.
Smith is the only driver to finish in the top 10 of all six races and goes into Saturday’s scheduled race second in the point standings.
The Talking Rock, Georgia native was the only driver to stop Kyle Larson last week in Bristol from a three race sweep in all series in Thunder Valley, who finished P2 in the NCTS race.
