This weekend, it’s all on the line.
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Phoenix Raceway to decide its 2022 champion. Four drivers will enter the title battle, and the one who finishes the highest, with or without winning the season finale, will walk away the victor.
After scoring his second win in three races, Ty Majeski is joined by defending champion and teammate Ben Rhodes, Zane Smith and Chandler Smith. The four will square off head to head, no points on the line, and put their all into ending the year on the highest note possible.

Stats: Two wins, 10 top fives, 15 top 10s, 306 laps led
It may have taken the majority of the season for Majeski to break through for his first career victory, but it didn’t take that long for him to follow it up with a second one. He won two out of the three races during the Round of 8 and heads into this weekend with an incredible amount of momentum. But what’s more, this team has shown its championship prowess for much of the season.

He quietly and consistently put himself into the playoff conversation, and just when the season reached the point where consistency just wasn’t quite enough, he pounced with a pair of wins in the last three races.
That said, this year marks the first full season Majeski has completed in NASCAR, and there’s something to be said for experience when it comes to handling high-pressure situations such as the title race. Of course, I’m not saying he’s going to crumble under everything that’s on the line at Phoenix, but instead, I’m considering that there are others he’ll be racing against that have experience racing for a Truck Series title.
Ben Rhodes
Stats: One win, seven top fives, 12 top 10s, 263 laps led
Ben Rhodes heads into this weekend not even a year removed from his first championship weekend and the memorable party-like press conference that followed. But just in case you somehow managed to miss it or just want to relive the hilarity, we’ve got you covered.
In all seriousness, Rhodes looks to join some elite company this weekend. Only four drivers in Truck Series history have won multiple…
