NASCAR driver Zane Smith’s wife, McCall, recently shared her enthusiastic reaction to a nostalgic post from Front Row Motorsports. The team showcased a series of images featuring its drivers, including a standout photo of a young Zane posing alongside his idol and now competitor, two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch. McCall’s response to this heartwarming moment featured two emojis that perfectly captured her sentiment.
Zane and McCall’s love story began in their teenage years, evolving into a deep bond over the years. In a significant milestone, Zane proposed to McCall during a NASCAR Truck Series race weekend in April 2022. After over a year of planning, the couple tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Charleston on January 11, 2024, marking the beginning of their new chapter together.
The image shared by Front Row Motorsports was part of its engaging ‘Almost Race Day’ series, which also spotlighted fellow drivers Noah Gragson and Todd Gilliland. This tradition not only highlights the camaraderie among teammates but also celebrates the journey and growth of the drivers, further enhancing fan engagement.
As for Zane Smith, he currently drives the #38 Ford for Front Row Motorsports. This marks his first full-time season in the Cup Series, coming off a spell with Spire Motorsports. His recent achievements have been noteworthy, including capturing his first career Cup Series pole position for the Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Zane will be sharing the front row with none other than Kyle Busch, showcasing how far he has come in his racing career.
This season has seen the former Truck Series champion secure a top-ten finish once, but he consistently places between P11 and P20, demonstrating his growth compared to last season. Currently ranked P24 in the driver standings with 161 points, Zane Smith is determined to continue improving as the season progresses.
Despite celebrating his historic pole position, Zane expressed some frustration regarding the unique racing dynamics at Talladega. In an interview with FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, he described the 2.66-mile tri-oval Superspeedway as having a “weird” style of racing. He shared his expectations for the upcoming event, hinting at the fierce competition ahead.
The excitement builds as the green flag waves at 3:00 PM ET this Sunday, April 27, at Talladega. Fans can look forward to tuning in for the exclusive broadcast on FOX, MRN, and SiriusXM, as Zane Smith aims to make a significant impact in this thrilling race.
