Zane Smith Notes
Zane Smith will make his return to Front Row Motorsports this weekend in Winston Salem, NC for NASCAR’s first ever Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium.
Smith won the 2022 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series championship with FRM, winning four times, including Daytona. Smith collected 14 top-five finishes, led 492 laps, won the regular season championship, and capped the season off by winning at the Phoenix Raceway season finale to capture the series championship.
Behind the wheel of the No. 38 Speedy Cash Ford Mustang Dark Horse, Smith will attempt to make the main event for the second time in his NASCAR Cup Series career.
This will be the first of four races for Speedy Cash, partnering with Smith at the Daytona 500, Texas Motor Speedway, and the fall event at the Kansas Speedway.
“I’m really excited to go to Bowman Gray for The Clash,” said Smith. “Los Angeles was pretty cool, but the history of “The Madhouse” and the fanbase there really makes this a unique event and a fun way to kick off the season off.”
