AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — It took overtime in his third attempt for Zane Smith to finally win a NASCAR championship. Smith held off reigning series champion Ben Rhodes and Chandler Smith in a two-lap overtime sprint Friday night to win at Phoenix Raceway and at last win the series title.

He was picked up by Front Row Motorsports and delivered the Ford team its first Truck Series championship.
