Chandler Smith won the Black's Tire 200 at Martinsville Speedway on Friday, Oct. 30, taking the lead from Front Row Motorsports teammate Layne Riggs on lap 189 and leading the last 12 laps. It was his first Martinsville win, in his fifth start there, and the 10th of his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series career. Riggs led 156 laps and won both stages but finished third. Kaden Honeycutt finished 14th and leads Riggs by 20 points in the Chase, the Truck Series playoff, with one race left: the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday, Nov. 6.

Davey Segal hosts with Dylan "Mamba" Smith. They argue over whether Smith should have helped a teammate racing for the title, why Riggs took the bottom lane on the last restart, and the contact that dropped Honeycutt, with Honeycutt's own account after the race. Then the math for Homestead, pit road and tiebreakers, with flashbacks to last week's show. They pick the finale: Davey takes Chandler Smith to win and Honeycutt for the title, and Mamba takes Riggs for both.
