On Saturday’s Halloween evening, Kvapil won the National Debt Relief 250 at Martinsville, claiming his third NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series victory of the season and the third of his career. The 23-year-old North Carolina driver put together one of the cleanest complete perf

Chandler Smith did not need the most dominant truck to leave Martinsville with the trophy. He needed one perfect restart, one clean launch, and the nerve to take the top lane away from a teammate who had controlled the night. That was enough.
