Zane Smith is an American stock car racing driver competing in the NASCAR Cup Series. He came up through the sport with Front Row Motorsports, a team with which he built his reputation, most notably capturing the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship in 2022. That title marked the high point of a rise through NASCAR's ranks and established him as a driver capable of running at the front on a consistent basis before he moved into full-time Cup Series competition.[1]
Across 214 career Cup Series starts, Smith has recorded nine wins and 30 podium finishes, numbers that reflect a driver with genuine race-winning ability at the sport's top level. His Racer Rating of 4,526 places him 366th among active drivers, indicative of a career still developing relative to the series' elite performers. Smith remains active in the 2026 season, though his early results show no wins or podiums through one round and a standing of 78th, suggesting a season still in its opening stages. With a truck championship already on his résumé and a growing body of Cup Series experience, Smith continues to work toward establishing himself more firmly among the series' front-runners.[2]
