Zane Smith to join Trackhouse Racing. Truck Series champ to start Cup career on loan to Spire

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press

Truck Series champion Zane Smith has been signed to a multi-year contract with Trackhouse Racing in which he will be loaned to Spire Motorsports for a Cup Series ride in 2024. The 24 year old will fold into the Trackhouse lineup when the team is able to expand to three full-time Cup cars. Trackhouse currently fields full-time Cup cars for Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez, and earlier this week committed to a driver development program for Shane van Gisbergen. Smith will drive a third entry for Spire, which purchased a charter from Live Fast Motorsports to form the alliance with Trackhouse.
