Zane Smith Notes
The NASCAR Cup Series is back road course racing this weekend, this time at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval. Smith’s most impressive road course accomplishment came in 2022 and 2023, winning back-to-back CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. In the Cup Series, Smith has two starts at the Roval with a career best finish of 19th in 2024.
Long John Silver’s will return to the No. 38 car this weekend, partnering with Smith for the 109-lap event. Long John Silver’s will bring its signature, fan-favorite blue and yellow “Fish Yeah” scheme to Smith’s Ford Mustang Dark Horse.

“Last week was eventful, but it’s in the past and the team and I have all of our attention on the Roval,” said Smith. “I have always loved road course racing and have had success at them in the past. Historically, Front Row has been a threat on road courses, so I’m looking forward to this weekend and bringing home a finish we can all be proud of.”
