Zane Smith Is A Value Play Worth Rostering At Chicago
Zane Smith of Front Row Motorsports will start 26th after qualifying for the Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course. Smith ended up being the slowest qualifier of the three Front Row entries in this week's race and the only one to start outside of the top 25. In Smith's only previous Cup start at Chicago back in 2024 while driving for Spire Motorsports, Smith finished 17th after starting 30th. Through 17 Cup races so far this season, Smith has 10 top-20 finishes and an average finish of 20.3. In practice for Sunday's race, Smith ranked sixth in overall lap averages for practice and ranked 12th in five consecutive lap averages. With plenty of upside and highly favorable practice speeds, Smith is a driver who should be considered for all formats as a solid value option.
