HOMESTEAD, Fla — And then there were four. 10 drivers entered this year’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series playoffs and a month in-a-half later, we now know the four who will compete in the Championship 4 in two weeks in Phoenix.

Ty Majeski

He was 0-for-39 entering the Round of 8 by won 2 of the 3 races and now has a ton of momentum entering the final round at Phoenix. Majeski has 15 top 10 finishes on the season but 6 top 8’s in the last 7 races overall.

2022 Stats:

• 2 wins
• 10 Top 5’s
• 15 Top 10’s
• 3 poles
• 306 laps led
• 1st Championship 4 appearance

Zane Smith

The regular season champion finished 2nd to Majeski in both of Majeski’s wins this round and has 5 runner-ups in the last 11 races overall. He’s not won in the last 14 races though. The thing is, it’s not like that matters a whole lot since he’s been in the Championship 4 in each of the last 3 years now.

2022 Stats

• 3 wins
• 13 top 5’s
• 18 top 10’s
• 0 poles
• 415 laps led
• 3rd Championship 4 appearance

Chandler Smith

He’s kind of backing his way into the final round. The Kyle Busch Motorsports driver finished 9th, 14th and 10th in the Round of 8 and has just 2 top 5 finishes in the last 10 races. However, both are wins with his last coming 4 races ago in Richmond. That track is similar to Phoenix to which who won Phoenix last year?

2022 Stats

• 3 wins
• 8 top 5’s
• 15 top 10’s
• 0 poles
• 440 laps led
• 1st Championship 4 appearance

Ben Rhodes

He’s looking to become the first defending series champion to go back-to-back since Matt Crafton in 2013 and 2014. Rhodes is back in the final round for the second time of his career on the heels of a quiet season to which he won just once. He also has just two top 5’s in the last 16 races, both runner-ups. 1 of those 2 was this round but it was at Talladega, a place that doesn’t translate over at all to Phoenix.

2022 Stats

• 1 win
• 7 top 5’s
• 12 top 10’s
• 0 poles
• 263 laps led
• 2nd Championship 4 appearance
