  • Zane Smith returns to the West Coast for 267 laps at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Sunday's race will be the NASCAR Cup Series' first visit to a 1.5-mile intermediate track.

 

  • TitleMax will return to Smith's No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse. This will be the brand's second of four primary races with Smith and the No. 38. For more information on TitleMax visit TitleMax.com.

 

  • In his seven NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series starts at the Las Vegas, Nevada track, Smith has five top-10 finishes and one top-five finish. Following his ninth-place finish at the Phoenix Raceway, Smith currently sits 26th in the Driver Championship points standings.

 

  • "I've always enjoyed racing at Vegas," said Smith. "I have a lot of good memories at The Bullring, racing with Noah (Gragson). We made a pretty decent points jump after Phoenix, so hopefully we can carry that momentum into Vegas."
