Mystik Lubricants Returns with Zane Smith for 2026 Season

Heavy-Duty Lubricant Brand to Return to Front Row Motorsports in Multiple Races

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (February 5, 2026) – After powering Zane Smith and the No. 38 Ford team in two NASCAR Cup Series races in the 2025 season, Mystik® Lubricants will once again sponsor Front Row Motorsports (FRM) and Smith for the 2026 season in a multi-race extension. The CITGO® CITGARD® Heavy Duty Engine Oils brand will also join Smith 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 the Darlington Raceway (S.C.) in March and at the Martinsville Speedway (VA.) in November.

“This collaboration remains a winning combination, much like the reliability of Mystik JT-6® Greases and CITGARD Heavy Duty Engine Oils, which are engineered for peak performance in the toughest conditions,” said Braden McElroy, General Manager, CITGO Lubricants. “We look forward to seeing Zane and No. 38 carry our colors and have some great finishes this racing season.”

“Mystik and CITGARD have been an instrumental ally at Front Row Motorsports since 2018,” said Smith. “Their lubricants are a go-to favorite for the hauler drivers and mechanics at our headquarters, so I know the shop will be buzzing about the collaboration. The No. 38 team and I have all the resources we need to be successful, and I would love to deliver some solid runs in the Mystik scheme.”

Fritz Sports & Event Enterprises (FSE) continues to oversee the sponsorship.
