No. 38 NASCAR Ford F-150 Wrecks From Lead At Gateway 2023: Video

June 7, 2023 4:30 pm

Though the No. 38 NASCAR Ford F-150 of Zane Smith showed the way for 38 laps during the Truck Series race at Gateway (otherwise known as World Wide Technology Raceway), although he and the rest of The Blue Oval’s racing teams weren’t around as a threat at the end.

On Lap 155, Smith’s No. 38 F-150 was involved in a run-in with the No. 98 F-150 of Ty Majeski, who hit each other in Turn 2 and destroyed both trucks. The wreck forced the race into NASCAR Overtime, opening the door for Grant Enfinger’s No. 23 Chevy Silverado RST to slip by and take the lead, and, ultimately, the race win.

“I saw an interview, today or yesterday, where this track, [Majeski] has more experience at than any others,” Smith said in an interview with Frontstretch after the race. “And he still races like it’s his first time here.”

Smith and the No. 38 F-150 ultimately finished 20^th. Majeski’s No. 98 NASCAR Ford claimed 30^th at the line.

Meanwhile, on Lap 88, Hailie Deegan’s No. 12 NASCAR Ford F-150 hammered the wall after contact with the No. 2 Silverado of Nick Sanchez. Thankfully, she exited the wrecked truck under her own power, but wound up with a 32^nd-place finish.
