Chandler Smith has made NASCAR history following the Truck Series race at North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2026.

Chandler Smith made it back to victory lane in the NASCAR Truck Series. On Saturday afternoon, Smith and the No. 38 team for Front Row Motorsports cruised to the winner's circle at North Wilkesboro Speedway, earning his second victory of the 2026 NASCAR season. In fact, it was a historic performance by the driver of the No. 38 truck.

Smith's win at North Wilkesboro was by over eight seconds, becoming the largest margin of victory ever on a short track in the Truck Series. The Front Row Motorsports driver was incredibly fast in the Final Stage, and even extended the lead to almost 10 seconds before hitting lap traffic near the end of hte race.

It has been a rough couple of weeks for Smith, who has been so close to victory lane since winning the season opener at Daytona International Speedway in February. Now, Smith is back in victory lane, and if he replicates his success from North Wilkesboro moving forward, he will be one of the championship favorites.
