Trackhouse Racing Shockingly Cutting Ties With “Disappointed” Zane Smith Has Fans Debating Questionable Move
Trackhouse Racing and Zane Smith have decided to part ways. However, this announcement isn’t very surprising!
The 2024 season for Smith hasn’t been ideal. He’s currently 33rd on the points table with the regular season almost coming to an end and only has one top 5 and 2 top 10 finishes. He only recently got a top 10 in the Michigan race, where he finished 7th. Letting Smith go might have come as they have shown continued interest in promoting Shane van Gisbergen to the Cup Series, and now it most likely is happening.
Trackhouse took to X to give their parting statement, and wrote, “Trackhouse Racing and Zane Smith have mutually agreed to separate at the conclusion of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, allowing the 25-year-old former NASCAR Truck Series champion to immediately accept other opportunities. Smith drives the No. 71 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet in an alliance with Trackhouse Racing and will continue for the remainder of this season.”

Getting fired after a good finish has got to be disappointing. And, Smith fairly so, mentioned in his statement, “Obviously, I am disappointed that I’ve been put in a tough spot. I am diligently exploring quality driving opportunities and hope to quickly wrap up my plans for next year. Meanwhile, kudos to our #71 Cup team. We’ve turned our year around this summer with six top-20 finishes in the last ten races, which includes a top-10 last weekend and a runner-up finish in Nashville. With more determination than ever, I will continue to do what I know best and that is to work hard, race my heart out, and prove myself. Thank you to everyone that has and continues to stand behind me.”
Fans, however, called out Trackhouse’s move.
