The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Texas for the fifth race of the season, the XPEL 225 this Saturday, March 26 at 1 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio at the Circuit of The Americas (COTA). The race will be the first of a double-header Saturday that features the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at 4:30 p.m. ET.

 


 

Last year, Front Row Motorsports’ driver Todd Gilliland grabbed the victory in the No. 38 Ford in the inaugural NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at the Circuit of The Americas. Fast forward to this year, Zane Smith (who had two top-10 finishes in road courses last year) is behind the wheel of the No. 38 Ford and hopes to bring home back-to-back wins for the Front Row Motorsports team.

 

Smith had a good 2021 season, posting one win, three top fives and 14 top 10s. He kept the momentum going with a 2022 season-opening win in Daytona but didn’t quite get the result he was looking for in the following race in Las Vegas. He was disqualified and bumped to last but that didn’t stop him from rebounding in last weekend’s race at Atlanta by posting a fifth-place finish. 

 

 

Watch for Smith to be upfront this weekend too. In his series track debut last season on the 3.41-mile road course, Smith started 15th and raced his way up to an eighth-place finish.
