Front Row Motorsports Martinsville Notes focus on Zane Smith and the No. 38 team as they prepare for a critical race at Martinsville Speedway, with just two events left in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. Smith, who posted a strong ninth-place result at Talladega Superspeedway last week, brings significant experience and a solid track record at the short Virginia circuit.
Smith has been a consistent contender at Martinsville Speedway, earning one win, three top-five finishes, and four top-10s in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. This season, he achieved his career-best Cup Series result at the track, finishing 16th during the March event. As the NASCAR season draws to a close, Smith and his team are focused on finishing strong and building on their recent momentum.
New Sponsor Scheme and Team Momentum
This weekend, Long John Silver’s returns as a prominent partner on the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse. Known for its seafood offerings, Long John Silver’s is spotlighting a revamped image and its latest food innovation by featuring the “Chick Yeah” livery on Smith’s car. The new chicken wraps, launching later this month, represent the brand’s updated focus while honoring its seafood tradition. The collaboration highlights food creativity, bringing renewed attention both to the team and the sponsor as they seek to make a statement on the racetrack.
Smith’s Preparation and Drive for Results
Throughout the week, Smith and Front Row Motorsports have directed their energy toward capitalizing on the team’s recent progress. With just two races left in the season, Smith emphasizes the importance of qualifying well and making strategic decisions in the pits to maximize performance at the challenging, half-mile Martinsville oval.
“We have a lot of momentum as a team coming off Talladega,”
said Smith.
“Martinsville is a fun but challenging track—it comes down to qualifying up front and executing on pit road. The season’s almost over, but there’s still plenty left to race for. We want to finish strong.”
