After Taylor Gray spun during the middle of the race, Smith would claim the 2022 ARCA Menards Series East championship, along with the 2022 Sioux Chief Showdown championship.[3][4][5] Although Gray ended up finishing in the third spot, he was too many points behind Smith to claim the title.
Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as Bristol International Raceway and Bristol Raceway, is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all-concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating. It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks. The track is billed as the "World's Fastest Half-Mile", even though that designation technically belongs to the Volusia Speedway Park dirt track.
