Front Row Motorsports is setting its sights on a strong result as the NASCAR Cup Series heads to New Hampshire Motor Speedway this Sunday. Building on momentum from a third-place performance at Bristol Motor Speedway, the team will be looking to leverage recent successes and its partnership with Long John Silver’s as it takes on the 301-lap event in Loudon, New Hampshire. The upcoming race offers Front Row Motorsports New Hampshire opportunities as their lineup races for another top finish.
Zane Smith Aims to Extend Recent Success
Zane Smith, piloting the No. 38 Ford for Front Row Motorsports, is preparing for his 75th NASCAR Cup Series start at this iconic New England track. After overcoming a series of difficult races, Smith’s recent podium at Bristol Motor Speedway has infused renewed optimism into the team as they transition to the unique, flat mile oval at New Hampshire.
The No. 38 car, once again carrying the vibrant blue and yellow colors of Long John Silver’s, is set to attract fan attention with its “Fish Yeah” paint scheme returning for this event. The company’s ongoing support signals a partnership that continues to generate energy both on and off the track as the competitive summer stretch continues.
Team Outlook and Driver Confidence Heading into Race Day
With limited experience at New Hampshire, Zane Smith relies on the expertise of his team, particularly crew chief Ryan Bergenty, whose connection to the track runs deep after previous successes alongside Ryan Newman in the Modifieds. The team’s strategic approach and local knowledge aim to overcome recent frustrations and secure another top-five finish.
“We’ve had some frustrating results the past couple of races, but Bristol gave us a huge confidence booster. New Hampshire isn’t a track I have a lot of laps at, but it’s Ryan’s (Bergenty) home track and a place he’s had success at with Ryan Newman in the Modifieds so there’s a lot of positivity heading into the weekend. Hopefully, we can bring home another top-five finish.”
