Zane Smith Lacks Punch At Iowa
6 months agoZane Smith and his Spire Motorsports car seem to lack the acceleration coming out of turns at Iowa. It showed in his qualifying lap especially. Smith and the No. 71 car lost more than a second to the top cars on Saturday. Practice was a little faster as Smith only dropped 0.707 seconds off the pace. He has fared well on tracks that appear to run like Iowa. Then again, those repaved segments are causing their fair share of havoc. Place differential is moderate for Smith because he starts 26th and no one is truly sure on the attrition rates for Sunday evening.
