Zane Smith still working on 2024 plans

The name … that many are waiting to see who signs him is Zane Smith, the defending Craftsman Truck Series champion.

“I feel like my time in the truck series is hopefully coming to an end soon and I can go to racing on Sundays soon,” Smith said prior to the truck playoffs.

Smith has talked to several Cup teams, including Trackhouse Racing, according to sources. But Trackhouse doesn’t have a spot for him in 2024, so any deal with Trackhouse would likely be a situation where he is leased out to another team for next season, possibly Cup or Xfinity.
