Smithley Eyeing Strong Finish

Garrett Smithley will wrap up his third season driving for JD Motorsports with Gary Keller in the KSDT No. 0 Chevrolet Saturday in the Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
 
The race is the season-ender for the Xfinity Series.
 
“We want to close out the year strong,” Smithley said. “We’ve had a mix of really good runs and some that weren’t so good this year. Ending on a big note is important for us and for the folks at KSDT who came on board with us for the weekend.”
 
Smithley has raced three times in Xfinity events at the 1.5-mile track. He enters Saturday’s race in 19th in series points.
 
Practice is scheduled at Homestead at 2:35 and 5:05 p.m. Friday. Qualifying is set for 12:35 p.m. Saturday, with the race to follow at 3:30.
 
The race is part of NASCAR’s Championship Weekend and will determine the Xfinity champion.
