Smith finished second in the Wawa 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway on Friday night.
ANALYSISSmith 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.
