Zane Smith Benefiting from Front Row Motorsports Speed, but Likely Won't Contend
39 seconds agoAlthough Front Row Motorsports has not been as dominant in drafting track qualifying this year as Michael McDowell was last year, all three FRM cars were still very fast in qualifying as Zane Smith qualified 7th amidst a phalanx of Fords. However, even though he grew much more consistent in the second half of his rookie season as his average finish improved from 28.1 in the first half to 18.3 in the second, the FRM cars typically did not finish as well as they qualified last year and Smith doesn't seem to be experienced enough to seriously fight for the win so he will likely backslide through the pack somewhat as some of the faster Chevy and Toyota drivers move through the field. He is probably best avoided both for DFS lineups and straight bets.
