Zane Smith Notes

The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Kansas City, Kansas this weekend for the series’ second visit of the 2025 season to the Kansas Speedway. The 1.5-mile oval is one of Zane Smith’s favorites, scoring one win, five top-five’s, and eight top-10’s at the track in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. In the Cup Series, Smith’s best finish came in September 2024 where he finished 10th. Additionally, Smith finished 16th in May of this year.

“Kansas is easily one of my favorite tracks,” said Smith. “I’ve had some good runs there in not only the Cup Series, but the Truck Series as well, so the team and I are looking forward to the weekend. It’s great to have Speedy Cash back with us, you can’t miss their green and black scheme on track. Hopefully we can give them a solid showing.”
