Mystik Lubricants Enters Partnership With Front Row, Zane Smith

Front Row Motorsports has announced a multi-race sponsorship for Mystik Lubricants, which will debut at Nashville Superspeedway in June aboard Zane Smith's No. 38 Ford.

Mystik will join the team for select NASCAR Cup Series events with Zane Smith and the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse team as well as a season-long associate sponsorship. The CITGO CITGARD Heavy Duty Engine Oils brand also joins as an associate sponsor.

The Mystik brand will serve as the primary sponsor on the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse in two NASCAR Cup Series events this season. Smith will carry the Mystik colors at Nashville Superspeedway in June and at Iowa Speedway in August.

“We look forward to continuing our partnership with Front Row Motorsports and supporting our new driver, Zane Smith,” said Braden McElroy, CITGO General Manager, Lubricants. “Having the new Mystik Lubricants-centered design on the No. 38 car this season provides great brand exposure with millions of racing fans. It will be an unbeatable combination, just like how Mystik JT-6® Greases and CITGARD Heavy Duty Engine Oils are for any tough situation your equipment may face in the field.”

“I am excited to have Mystik and CITGARD back on board the No. 38 this season,” says Smith. “Mystik and CITGARD have been involved with Front Row Motorsports since 2018, and I believe we have the team and capabilities to give them some strong results this season. Our hauler drivers and mechanics are pretty stoked to have their products around the shop also.”

Smith finished second at Nashville one year ago, the best finish of his NASCAR Cup Series career to date. The California driver returned to Front Row Motorsports in 2025 in the team's No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse in the NASCAR Cup Series. Smith previously won a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship with the team in 2022.

The NASCAR Cup Series Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway is scheduled for Sunday, June 1 at 7 p.m. ET. Coverage of the race will be on Prime Video, the Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio
