Runner-up Finish at Daytona
XFINITY Series
August 23, 2025
Smith finished second in the Wawa 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway on Friday night.
ANALYSIS
Smith started third on the grid and put together a very strong race. He'd lead four times for 18 laps and mix it up with the front runners all night at Daytona. Smith would capture the stage 1 win and be around at the end to battle for the win. NASCAR overtime would see the driver of the No. 8 Chevrolet chasing leader Parker Kligerman on the last lap but a multi-car crash would bring out the caution and Smith would be credited with a strong second-place. It was his fifth Top 5 of the season.
