Trackhouse Racing and Zane Smith have mutually decided to part ways at the end of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season. Smith, who has been racing the No. 71 car for Spire Motorsports through a partnership with Trackhouse, will remain with the team until the season concludes but will be free to pursue other opportunities afterward.
This decision comes despite Smith’s recent improvements on the track, including several top-20 finishes and a second-place result at Nashville. Although neither Trackhouse Racing nor Smith provided specific reasons for the split, the move has sparked debate among fans, with some questioning whether Trackhouse is making the right decision, particularly given the team’s overall struggles this season.
Smith expressed his disappointment but remains focused on finding a quality ride for 2025. His future options might include returning to a team like Front Row Motorsports, where he previously found success.
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
