Who Is Zane Smith’s Wife? Meet the Cup Series Rookie’s Wife McCall Gaulding

The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series will see several fresh faces, one of them being Zane Smith. The Spire Motorsports driver began grabbing the attention of the big teams when he was racing in the NASCAR Truck Series. He has won the competition once and came second on two occasions. He might be young and may have not raced in the Xfinity Series full-time, but as an old sports saying goes, “If they’re good enough, they’re old enough.” Smith seems to have hit the jackpot in his racing career, but that isn’t the only aspect where he has been successful. In 2022, the race car driver got engaged to his longtime girlfriend McCall Gaulding and is now looking to tie the knot.

Who is Zane Smith?

Zane Smith is a Star of the NASCAR Truck Series. He has raced in the competition for four full seasons, in which time he has finished P2 twice and won the crown once. He has amassed 9 wins and 57 top-10 finishes in the competition so far in his racing career, which is quite impressive considering he is only 24 years old. But that’s not where his achievements stop. Stock car racing is not the only thing Smith has tasted success in. In 2015, the Spire Motorsports driver became the World Series of Asphalt Super Late Model Champion.

Smith began his racing career with dirt bikes in the BMX before making the move to karts in 2004 and winning five consecutive championships. He has raced legendary cars and super late models, taking part in competitions like the Pro All Stars Series and the CARS Tour. The Spire Motorsports driver has also made his mark on the Snowball Derby, finishing as the runner-up.

Who is Zane Smith’s Wife McCall Gaulding?

Zane Smith got engaged to McCall Gaulding on April 30, 2022. At the time, the couple had been reportedly dating for six years before the former Truck Series driver popped the all-important question. Gaulding is a successful entrepreneur working in the beauty and wellness industry. Born on April 4, 2002, the 22-year-old had racing all around her growing up as she is the daughter of former team owner Dwayne Gaulding and sister of current motorsports athlete Gray Gaulding.

McCall Gaulding was home-schooled and has been a pursuing nursing degree at Chamberlain University. She is a successful entrepreneur, being the owner of McCall Gaulding Cosmetics. The brand is quite renowned for having a wide range of quality products that have been made to suit all skin types and skin tones. She also works with PURE (People United Reaching Everyone), a company that offers natural health and wellness products.

Much like his wife, McCall Gaulding seems to have a talent for racing. She won the Better Half iRacing Dash, a virtual racing event that involves the better halves of NASCAR drivers. In 2023, she won the race for the third time in a row. It’s safe to say that growing up in a motorsports family has its advantages. Gaulding received prize money of $10,000, which she donated to the Lake Norman Humane, which is an NPO that helps animals.

The couple isn’t married yet but evidence suggests that the date is around the corner, as Gaulding recently shared a picture on Instagram captioned “It’s officially wedding week.”

They had been dating for six years when Zane Smith asked for her hand in marriage in 2022 on a beach. There’s not much information about how the two met one another, but it can be assumed that racing played a big role in that. Well, it seems like they are about to turn their dreams into reality soon. McCall Gaulding also has a highlight on her Instagram handle titled ‘Bridal Shower’ which suggests that the day of the wedding is not too far away.

“M A FIANCÉ. The luckiest girl in the entire world. I love you so much Zane. I cannot wait to be MRS. SMITH 🤍💍,” Gaulding had captioned an earlier Instagram post when she announced the happy news. There were several pictures of the two on a beach as the cosmetics brand owner showed off the beautiful ring on her finger. 2024 sure does seem to be a big year for Zane Smith, both off the track and on.

What lies ahead of Zane Smith in the 2024 season?

Things have changed in NASCAR in the recent past. Drivers don’t need to run full-time seasons in the Xfinity Series to get a seat in the Cup Series anymore. Zane Smith is one of the drivers to have leaped. The 24-year-old will race in the 2024 Cup Series championship full-time with Spire Motorsports. His record in the Truck Series may speak for itself, but things are a lot different at NASCAR’s topmost level. There drivers here are far more experienced and the competition is a lot more intense.

However, Smith can go into this new challenge with confidence. Overcoming obstacles is something he does quite well and it will be intriguing to see how he gets on with his rookie Cup Series season. Immediate goals may include qualifying for the playoffs and hopefully winning the Rookie of the Year award. The unpredictability of the sport makes it hard to make any certain calls, but one thing is for sure, the former Truck Series champion will give his 100% in the Cup Series.
