Zane Smith Quietly Nabs His First Phoenix Top-10 Finish
54 seconds agoFront Row Motorsports driver Zane Smith quietly obtained one of the best results of his Cup Series career during Sunday's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway. Starting the race from the 26th position, Smith made up positions during the first stage but was also involved in a crash during lap 10. The No. 38 Ford driver was able to continue on and went on to place 20th at the end of the first stage. Smith kept himself out of trouble during the second stage but did not progress much further as he ended the stage in 18th place. In the final stage, Smith kept his quiet momentum up and effectively used tire strategy to take option tires during the stage. Eventually, after passing up other drivers who were on regular tires during the race's late runs, Smith wound up with a ninth-place finish after fighting and holding off other drivers, gaining the best finish of his Cup career to date at Phoenix.
