Zane Smith Notes
Zane Smith will make his second Circuit of the Americas NASCAR Cup Series start this weekend as the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse team prepares for the newly reconfigured track. Along with the new configuration, Smith will bring a new partner on his No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse as TitleMax joins Smith for the 95-lap event.

After an 11th place finish at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, Smith now sits 28th in Driver Championship points. Smith looks to close the gap this weekend with a win to lock himself into the Playoffs. In his three NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series starts at the track, Smith has three top-10’s at COTA, including back-to-back wins in 2022 and 2023.
“COTA holds a special place in my heart,” said Smith. “It’s one of the most fun tracks we visit and a place I know I can win at. The team and I have some good momentum from Atlanta, and with my previous wins at COTA, our confidence is high. The new configuration is going to be a challenge, for sure, but I’m always up for a good challenge. I think we can leave Austin with a result we all can be proud of.”
