Zane Smith Notes
Zane Smith and Long John Silver’s will team up for this weekend’s action at the Martinsville Speedway. Long John Silver’s will bring its signature, fan-favorite blue and yellow “Fish Yeah” scheme to Smith’s Ford Mustang Dark Horse for the 400-lap event.
Finishing 11th at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, Smith sits 25th in the NASCAR Cup Series Driver Championship points standings. Smith and the No. 38 team will shift their focus to the 0.526-mile Virginia track to continue the momentum with a strong run to put themselves within the top-20 points positions.
Smith has built himself a good reputation when it comes to racing at the Martinsville Speedway. In the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, Smith has earned one win, three top-five, and four top-10 finishes.
“Martinsville is a fun but challenging track,” said Smith. “It starts with qualifying and executing on pit road. We’re in a good spot as a team and are confident heading into the weekend, we just need to execute and put ourselves into position to win.”
