Zane Smith Notes
The NASCAR Cup Series makes its annual visit to the North Wilkesboro Speedway for All-Star weekend. For Zane Smith and the No. 38 Ford team, they must race their way into the main event in NASCAR’s All-Star Open on Sunday at 5:30 pm ET. Long John Silver’s will partner with Smith and the team for the event.
Smith has one previous Cup Series start at the 0.625-mile track, competing in the 2024 All-Star Open race with Spire Motorsports. In the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, Smith has one start at the track.
“With a million dollars on the line, I definitely want to make it into the main event,” said Smith. “It’s cool to see how much NASCAR added into the All-Star format with the Promotors Caution and Manufacturer Showdown, it adds more uniqueness to the event. As a team, we have been showing a lot of potential, so I’m confident heading into this weekend.”
