Chandler Smith drove from 5th to the lead in the final half-mile to win the Fresh from Florida 250 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on Feb. 13 at Daytona International Speedway.
Smith, with a push from Ty Majeski, snuck past John Hunter Nemechek, Gio Ruggiero and others through the tri-oval to escape with the victory.
Carson Hocevar, who led 20 laps, finished in 35th behind the wall following separate ignition and rear-end issues.
