Riley Herbst & Zane Smith On Growing Up With Noah Gragson + NASCAR Offseason Hobbies | Racin'

Recorded: July 7th 2026 | Welcome back to another episode of Racin’ With The Boys. This week we have two lifelong friends, Riley Herbst and Zane Smith. The guys immediately get into their friendship and what it like growing up with Noah Gragson. They get into how they started racing through Baja racing in the dessert to then moving to North Carolina to get into NASCAR. Riley and Zane get into their offseason hobbies including heading back home to do some more Baja racing. They talk about how dangerous it is with the fans surrounding the track without any fence. Which then brings up the conversation of what is the sketchiest/scariest track on the NASCAR circuit, the answer may surprise you. Finally, the boys end the pod with our “one word to describe the driver segment”. This opens a whole can of worms as Zane opens up as to why he doesn’t like Carson Hocevar. He talks about some of their run-ins with each other and why they have a rivalry. Come join the boys for a good hang, enjoy fellas. ----- ⏰ Timestamp Chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:58 Their Friendship With Noah 4:15 Finding The Love Of Racing 9:44 Baja Racing vs NASCAR 11:51 Pressure Of NASCAR 15:40 Offseason Hobbies 18:16 What’s The Vibe After You Wreck Someone? 21:01 Terrible Herbst Family Oil 25:30 Zane Growing Up In California & Getting Into NASCAR 29:18 Fines In NASCAR 33:24 Baja Races Are INSANE 36:08 Are There Sketchier Tracks vs Others? 37:56 Superstitions 42:07 Big Cold Plunge Guys 48:22 Describe The Drivers In One Word 59:14 Keeping Your Composure Throughout The Season ----- 🚌 Get on the bus with NFL players Will Compton & Taylor Lewan!
