It was close but no cigar for NASCAR Camping World Truck Series regular Chandler Smith in Saturday night’s CARS Tour Throwback 276 Super Late Model event at Hickory Speedway as Smith would come home in the runner-up spot.

In the early portion of the event, it was Carson Kvapil, son of former NASCAR Truck Series champion Travis Kvapil, who was the main competition for Craig. But as the race headed into the final stretch, it was Smith that came alive and attempted to hunt down Craig for the win.

But Craig had enough speed to hold off Smith in his No. 54 machine.

  1. Matthew Craig
  2. Chandler Smith
