Ep. 149 | Zane Smith

The Racing Writer's Podcast

Zane Smith came up just short in the Camping World Truck Series title fight and afterward described it as a ‘disgusting feeling.’ On the podcast this week, Smith explains if he still feels that way now that the dust has settled; earning Rookie of the Year honors; when the thinking shifted from competitive rookie season to championship; experiencing the playoffs and winner-take-all race as a rookie; his all-in mentality and feeling like he had to make something happen in 2020; why he thinks Charlotte was the turning point in his season and people taking notice; Smith posting a picture of meeting Kyle Busch, and his social media approach; working with Josh Wise; working with veteran crew chief Kevin ‘Bono’ Manion and why GMS Racing has been a good fit; how he started in racing and realizing NASCAR was the way to go; becoming self-sufficient by moving to NC as a teenager; what to know about him away from the track; lessons from his rookie season to take in next year. Music created by Tony Monge.
