Horizon Hobby to Partner with Smith at Kansas Speedway and Dover Motor Speedway in 2025
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (February 13, 2024) – Horizon Hobby, a global leader in RC products, will return to Front Row Motorsports (FRM) in a multi-year, multi-race partnership that will span across the 2025 and 2026 NASCAR Cup Series seasons with Zane Smith and the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse team. Smith is no stranger to Horizon Hobby and its brands, having partnered with the company through its ARRMA brand in his 2022 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) championship season and in 2023.
The No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse will carry the Horizon Hobby colors when the NASCAR Cup Series visits the Kansas Speedway in May and for the 400-lap event at the Dover Motor Speedway in July. The company will also serve as a season-long associate partner with Smith and the No. 38 team
Smith, an avid RC enthusiast himself, is hoping to repeat the same success he and Horizon Hobby achieved during Smith’s 2022 NCTS Series Championship campaign where the Huntington Beach, California native earned 14 top five,19 top 10’s, and four wins, with one of those wins coming at the Kansas Speedway.
“I’m excited to be back with Horizon Hobby for the next couple of seasons,” said Smith. “I go back with them to my previous time at FRM and they really are a fun partner to have on board and I can’t wait to hit the ground running with them again”
Horizon Hobby and its Losi brand has strategically built its footprint in NASCAR for RC enthusiasts and racing fans alike, becoming the officially licensed maker of NASCAR RC cars. In 2024, Horizon Hobby debuted six NASCAR Cup Series schemes, including the No. 34 Horizon Hobby Ford Mustang Dark Horse. This year, Horizon Hobby is set to unveil two of many RC racecars in the Spring. All current offerings can be found at your local RC dealer or online.
