It was one year ago when Michael McDowell raced his way to victory lane in Daytona after winning the 2021 Daytona 500. In 2022, and with a very familiar paint scheme Zane Smith did the same thing for FRM but this time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
“It’s something else, man,” Smith said of winning at Daytona International Speedway. “This place is its own, I’ll tell you that. Literally, my heart hurt during that red flag. I thought we had it.
“Just hats off to this whole group. They’ve really put the work in and it’s so damn cool to see when it pays off. Man, this is going to be a really fun year and I’m going to try and make it a record year for myself.”
The win Friday night was the fourth of Smith's career.
