Expect Zane Smith's Steady Consistency to Continue at Homestead
2 weeks agoAlthough Zane Smith had a miserable first half of the season, he has definitely picked it up in the second half even if all his top ten finishes came in races where he was running considerably worse than that. Astonishingly, he actually has a better average finish than Joey Logano over the second half of the season since Smith only has one crash DNF to Logano's four. The Spire Motorsports cars definitely seem to have intermediate speed as all of them qualified in the top 20, although Smith was the slowest as he will be starting 19th. Although he's never made a NASCAR Cup Series start at Homestead, he did earn a second place finish and lead 60 laps in the Craftsman Truck Series, so he could have some speed here. Expect another finish near the back of the top 20 as usual.
