Is Zane Smith Worth Rostering At Sonoma?
3 months agoAfter qualifying for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, Zane Smith will start 20th. This marks the fourth time this season that Smith will start in the top 20. In his only previous start at Sonoma, Smith finished 34th after a lackluster run with Front Row Motorsports in 2023. Smith also ran the 2022 Truck Series race at Sonoma, finishing as the runner-up after starting 13th. With 15 races started this season, Smith has three top-20 finishes, highlighted by his finish of 19th at COTA. In practice, Smith ranked 27th in overall lap averages, 15th in five consecutive lap averages, and 10th in 10 consecutive lap averages. Although Smith's performance overall this year is unfavorable and inconsistent, Sonoma represents one of the better opportunities for him to have a favorable finish. As one of the cheapest drivers for DFS, Smith leaves plenty of cap flexibility, making him a worthy DFS option this week since his practice speeds point to a top-20 finish.
