Zane Smith Notes

Zane Smith and the No. 38 head to Fort Worth, Texas for the NASCAR Cup Series race at the Texas Motor Speedway. Following a19th place finish at the Talladega Superspeedway, Smith now sits 23rd in the Driver Championship points standings.

“Texas is a challenging track, but with the speed that Ryan (Bergenty) and the team have been bringing, I think we’ll be able to conquer this place,” said Smith. Winning a pole at Talladega was cool but we want more and a result to follow. I think we can do that at Texas.”
