AVONDALE, Ariz. (November 5, 2021) – Zane Smith, driver of the No. 21 MRC Construction Silverado, is the 2021 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) championship runner-up following his fifth-place finish in the season-ending Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix Raceway.

Smith, by reaching the Championship 4 for the second consecutive year, was looking to join Johnny Sauter (2016) and Sheldon Creed (2020) as GMS drivers to earn a championship in the NASCAR Truck Series.

“I just needed for my truck to turn,” said Smith. “We struggled with that since we unloaded. But still an insane year, really. We were eight laps away from winning the championship. I’ve had so much support from Maury Gallagher, Mike Beam, MRC Construction, RTA gigFAST INTERNET; all the people that have helped me get to this point. Team Chevy – I almost got Chevy another one. I tried using all my tools from my side of things, but just couldn’t get the truck to turn and we fought that all night.”

The 22-year-old 2020 Sunoco Rookie of the Year has piloted his Chevy Silverado to victory lane three times in 46 career starts; and has captured 11 top-five and 28 top-10 finishes.

Chevrolet returns to competition in the NASCAR Truck Series with the NextEra Energy 250 season-opener at Daytona International Speedway on Friday, February 18, 2022.

TOYOTA QUOTES

CHANDLER SMITH, No. 18 Safelite AutoGlass Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 1st

The other Kyle Busch Motorsports team in Victory Lane with Chandler Smith. Second win of the year for Chandler as well as Rookie of the Year. How was your race?

“Yeah, for sure, first and foremost, All Glory to the Man Upstairs, without him, none of this would be possible. I wouldn’t have all these awesome relationships with all these guys, my racing family. This is my family. Also, he’s blessed me with a great family and being around great people and being able to come out to Phoenix Raceway in front of these fans tonight and be able to compete in high tier equipment. I’m just really blessed right now. Can’t thank Safelite, Toyota Racing, Danny (Stockman), KBM, Kyle (Busch), everybody that goes down the line to make this happen.”

BEN RHODES, No. 99 Bombardier LearJet 75 Toyota Tundra, ThorSport Racing

Finishing Position: 3rd

You see the emotion out of Ben Rhodes. Ben, you started the season with a win at Daytona and you finish the season winning the Championship at Phoenix. You sir are the Camping World Truck Series Champion.

“That was the hardest last 40 laps I think I have ever driven in my life. I was doing things to the race car I probably shouldn’t have been doing, it was dumb, but I had everything to lose. And we brought it home and won it. I don’t even know what to say. This is crazy. Bookends for the season, I am so proud of my ThorSport Racing group. This wasn’t like a vision we had, right, everyone wants to win it, but you just don’t know, it’s so hard. I just can’t thank Duke and Rhonda (Thorson) enough. They are the reason I’m here tonight, Bombardier, Toyota, Menards, WileyX, we have so many people that help us, I can’t even talk right now I’m so excited.“

JOHN HUNTER NEMECHEK, No. 4 Pye-Barker Fire & Safety Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 7th

It’s amazing John Hunter Nemecheck finished seventh given everything you went through tonight. I know you were short on the championship and that’s what mattered. Can you bring me through everything you had to battle out there tonight?

“Yeah, I got run in to the first corner, got in to the fence, somebody else ran in to us on the left side and this thing is killed pretty much, but had a left front tire go flat, went down two laps, got both of our laps back, but just needed more laps I guess. After all, felt we had the best truck tonight Playoff wise for sure. Drove from pretty much last to seventh there and running down Ben (Rhodes) and Zane (Smith) for the championship, just not enough. That’s what’s frustrating. A huge shout out to all of our partners. I’m disappointed, frustrated. Thank you Pye-Barker Fire Alarm Services, Toyota, Kyle (Busch), everyone. Thankful for the opportunity. We came here to win races this year, we succeeded, came up short of the championship. I’ll be #BackForMore next year.”

MATT CRAFTON, No. 88 Ideal Door/Menards Toyota Tundra, ThorSport Racing

Finishing Position: 12th

What were you fighting tonight?

“We really fought free off all night. Really free off, center off. Never really could get ahold of it for whatever reason. I’m excited for Ben (Rhodes), Duke and Rhonda (Thorson), everybody over there. This Menards Toyota Tundra – we qualified well, I mean, decent. I was really worried about that because every time we qualify decent here, we don’t race good. All-in-all, regroup, head to Daytona – go to 2022.”

AVONDALE, Ariz.: For the ninth time this season, Grant Enfinger will return to CR7 Motorsports set to drive the No. 9 Grant County Mulch Chevrolet Silverado in Friday night’s season finale NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race at the famed Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway.

Enfinger returns to the Statesville, N.C.-based team since competing at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway in September where he finished seventh in the No. 9 B’Laster Lubricants Chevrolet Silverado.

The finish in Sin City was the Fairhope, Alabama’s third top-10 of the year with CR7 Motorsports and second consecutive seventh-place finish at Las Vegas with the Doug George-led team.

With back-to-back finishes of 21st at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway and Martinsville (Va.) Speedway respectively, the six-time Truck Series returns to the seat of the No. 9 Grant County Mulch Chevrolet Silverado hoping to pick up right where he left off leaving Las Vegas.

“I’m looking forward to getting to Phoenix and ending this season on a high note,” said Enfinger. “It’s been a huge blessing that Codie and all the guys at CR7 have allowed me to race with them this year. We finished seventh in our last outing together at Vegas and I’m hopeful we can better that finish on Friday night.

“Crew chief Doug George and I are excited about being able to find some more gains with having practice and qualifying this week. “I also just want to thank Grant County Mulch and everyone that is a part of this team for allowing me to be a part of their journey in 2021.”

Enfinger, a former ARCA Menards Series champion will make his fifth start at Phoenix’s 1.0-mile oval and while he started last year’s race on the pole, his 13th place finish in the Lucas Oil 150 left more to be desired.

In 2018 and 2019, he delivered back-to-back top-five finishes and has led 12 laps over the course of his career at Phoenix but with practice and qualifying back on the schedule this weekend in Avondale, everyone from Enfinger to general manager and mainstay driver Codie Rohrbaugh are hopeful the extra track time will put the family-owned team in a position to record their second top-five finish of the season.

“Grant has done a wonderful job for our team this season,” added Rohrbaugh. “He jumped on board with our team at Las Vegas in March and since then has brought great feedback and results to our organization.

“We’ve had fast trucks this year – even if we haven’t had the opportunity to showcase that in our results, but when Grant has been the wheel, he hasn’t left anything on the table. The chemistry behind him and Doug (George) is solid and I’m eager to see how Enfinger’s feedback from his prior races at Phoenix can be a benefit for our team throughout the day on Friday.”

While Enfinger has plenty of laps around Phoenix, CR7 Motorsports will make its debut in the desert on Friday night.

“This is one of the final tracks on the schedule that we are crossing off our list,” added Rohrbaugh. “Luckily, Doug has experience at Phoenix before and Grant has plenty of laps too, so I’m hoping that the two of them combined will bring our fifth top-10 of the season and some momentum to head into the off-season.”

While the Grant County Mulch colors will shine under the Friday night lights of Phoenix Raceway, Enfinger’s hood will adorn a decal remembering CR7 Motorsports general manager Mark Huff who passed away in February after a brief illness.

Huff was responsible for launching CR7 Motorsports’ Truck Series program in 2018.

Enfinger sits 11th in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship point standings, 84 points ahead of 12th place runner Johnny Sauter. Enfinger is the highest driver that has not been a part of the Truck Series Playoff format this season.

Entering Phoenix, CR7 Motorsports holds 25th in the championship owner standings participating in 19 of the 21 races this season.

CR7 Motorsports has 45 NCWTS starts to their credit with a career-best finish of third at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway (February 2020). Additionally, the team owns seven other top-10 finishes including three this season at Circuit of the Americas (fourth | Grant Enfinger) in May 2021 and Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway (seventh | Grant Enfinger) in March and September 2021. An 11th place qualifying effort at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway (Oct. 2019) is the team’s best time trials effort to date.

Marketing partnership(s) opportunities are also available for the No. 9 Grant County Mulch Chevrolet in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, as well as the team’s ARCA Menards Series No. 97 A.L.L. Construction | Grant County Mulch Chevrolet program with driver Jason Kitzmiller for the 2022 seasons and beyond. Interested inquiries are encouraged to contact tonya@gcmulch.com or 304.257.8783.

The Lucas Oil 150 (150 laps | 150 miles) is the 22nd of 22 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races on the 2021 schedule. Practice begins on Fri., Nov. 5, 2021, from 8:05 a.m. – 8:55 a.m. Qualifying is set for later in the day at 2:05 p.m. The 36-truck field will take the green flag that night shortly after 5:00 p.m. (8:00 p.m. ET) with live coverage on FOX Sports 1, the Motor Racing Network (Radio) and SiriusXM Satellite Radio NASCAR Channel 90. All times are local (MT).

AVONDALE, Ariz.: The final race of the 2021 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is upon Spencer Davis Motorsports (SDM) and driver Spencer Davis and the team heads to Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway for Friday night’s Lucas Oil 150 looking to end their season on a high note.

The family-owned team based in Mooresville, N.C. has certainly made strides throughout the year and while the team’s 29th place finish in the most recent race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway last Saturday afternoon wasn’t what they had hoped, Phoenix is a new race with unlimited opportunities.

“I cannot believe the 2021 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season is coming to an end this weekend,” said Davis.

“Obviously for our family-owned team, I am proud of what we have accomplished. We have had some highs and we have had some lows, but we have persevered through it all and we’re focused on going to Phoenix and getting us a finish that will propel us into the offseason with momentum.”

Much of the 2021 Truck Series has been held without the luxury of practice or qualifying, but to set the tone for the Championship race, a short practice and two laps of qualifying will return to the series this week and Davis believes the critical track time will be pivotal for his Spencer Davis Motorsports team.

“For a small team like ours, we welcome the opportunity to practice and qualify, especially at a track like Phoenix where track position is so important,” Davis added. “Even though it is a relatively short practice on Friday morning, it is still an opportunity to work out the bugs of our No. 11 INOX Lubricants Toyota Tundra and gives ourselves a safe baseline for qualifying.

“We will be practicing and qualifying but racing under the lights. The handling is going to change, but if we can stay ahead of the chassis adjustments, hopefully, we can find ourselves contending for a top-15 finish or better when that checkered flag waves.”

Davis, a native of Dawsonville, Ga. will make just his second Truck Series start at the 1.0-mile oval. Last fall, he started 27th and finished 23rd.

“Phoenix is a good race-able track with a diverse setup,” added Davis. “Being able to run multi grooves and 2 different corners drive more like a gateway but it has trends of a bigger track.

“I had a real good run with NTS Motorsports back in 16’ in the ARCA Menards Series before a motor failure ruined the race. I believe with practice we can really improve in our sub-par performance there last year.

“Overall, I do really like Phoenix as it is like Iowa Speedway and Richmond Raceway, two of my favorite tracks so I’m looking forward to being back there.”

Spencer Davis Motorsports partner INOX Supreme Lubricants will also serve as a major partner for the 22nd NCWTS race of the year.

INOX product range was first released in 1989 with the Original INOX MX3 Lubricant. The original MX3 product was in development stages for two years prior to release with testing and focus on creating the right product for the market.

The INOX product range continues to grow with 12 products on the market, each with their own many specialized qualities used in all different industries.

All their products are tested and trialed before hitting the market to ensure the best of quality is maintained in the INOX name. INOX products are available at all major industrial, electrical, automotive, hardware, bearing and mining, marine, fishing and tackle outlets, plus many more locations.

A wholly owned Australian company Candan Industries is now exporting to over 25 countries including the United States of America, Canada, France, South Africa, New Zealand, Indonesia and Malaysia.

“I cannot thank Angel and James and everyone with INOX Supreme Lubricants for being a part of our Spencer Davis Motorsports team this season,” said Davis.

“We use their products day to day on our race team and in our machines at our business. A quality product and amazing people helped bring this all together. I hope we can continue our partnership with INOX for the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season.”

Melvin “Woody” Burns who started the year with SDM as car chief will continue in his new role as crew chief for the sixth consecutive NCWTS race.

Entering Phoenix, Davis, 22, has 31 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts to his credit with a career-best finish of seventh at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway in Feb. 2018, with additional top-10s at Texas Motor Speedway (June 2018) and Kentucky Speedway (July 2019).

Plans for Spencer Davis and Spencer Davis Motorsports for the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season will be announced at a later date.
