2022 NASCAR Truck Series champion Zane Smith will run select races in the 2024 Truck Series season, as announced by McAnally-Hilgemann Racing on Friday, February 9.

Team owner Bill McAnally is happy to add Zane Smith to its driver lineup for four races in 2024. He believes adding Smith will benefit Jack Wood and the entire #91 team.
“Having Zane is a huge boost for our team and will be a great benefit to Jack Wood and the entire No. 91 team. Zane and Christian have been teammates before earlier in their careers also and he’ll be a great asset to all four teams. We couldn’t do this without the incredible relationship we’ve built with the Instacoat Premium Products team and their enthusiasm for our program,” McAnally said in a statement.
According to the announcement, the organization has renewed and continued its relationship with Instacoat Premium Products as a sponsor under a multi-race agreement for the 2024 season. The company will serve as a sponsor for Smith in three races.
