With his recent announcement, Smith fueled the wildfire of speculation that engulfed social media, and while the guessing game raged on, one sentiment remained consistent: unwavering faith in Smith’s ability to excel no matter where he lands. This trust is well-founded, considering his impressive track record and the backing of one of NASCAR’s legends.

Notably, Smith has previously entered over seven Cup Series races with Front Row Motorsports and Rick Ware Racing, a move that has only solidified fans’ confidence in his future success. But what truly underscores this faith is Smith’s association with NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr Back in 2018, when announcing Smith’s part-time stint with JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series, owner Earnhardt Jr, expressed his confidence in Smith, stating, “Zane is going to be an important part of the lineup for the No. 9 team next year.”

In 2022, Dale Earnhardt Jr further endorsed Smith on Twitter, praising him: “Zane is a great dude with serious potential on the Cup side one day. Likely very soon. Fans got to be excited about the kind of career he has/can carve out for himself in NASCAR.”

With speculations running wild, it’s truly anyone’s guess where Smith will ultimately land. What are your predictions?
