2nd Annual USMTS Sparkling City Nationals

 Finished 6th on Saturday
 Finished 20th on Sunday

 After driving from Iowa to Southern Texas, the 33z Racing Team sat through two days of cold and rain before racing finally got going on Saturday. A tough heat put Zack VanderBeek in the B-Main but he fought through and started 14th in the A-Main. From there, he advanced eight spots to take home a sixth-place finish to kick off the 2014 campaign. Sunday qualifying was no better, and VanderBeek pulled off the track just 15 laps into the A-Main due to dangerous conditions caused by thick fog rolling in off of the Gulf Coast. Next weekend we head back to the Royal Purple Raceway where VanderBeek won the last two nights back in November.

 Finished 6th on Thursday
 Finished 5th on Friday
 Finished 11th on Saturday

 We had a good start to the weekend at the Royal Purple Raceway. We finished second in our heat, but that still left us in a B-Main where we ran fourth. After starting 20th in the 30-lap A-Main, we quickly moved forward and picked up a tenth-place finish. FRIDAY: Getting stronger every day. Now if we could just draw better. Anotehr tough heat, another B-Main but we made it to the main event where we raced from 19th to 5th and picked up the MVT Hard Charger Award. SATURDAY: No win tonight, but still moving forward. Another poor draw for the heat put us in the B-Main where we made it out and into the A-Main. Started 21st, finished 11th but picked up another Hard Charger Award. Back home for the 33z Racing team this week. Full results at www.USMTS.com.

King of America IV

 Finished 5th in Main Event

 We started fifth in the 100-lap finale of the King of America Saturday night against one of the toughest fields of Modifieds ever assembled. The Z-Man held his own for the entire race, but with rubber laying down about halfway through the feature it was tough to do any passing. We wound up right where we started in fifth, and walk away satisfied with 88 of the 93 entrants finishing somewhere behind the #33z Casey's General Store machine.

 It was a solid run at the Salina Highbanks Speedway Saturday night. While the Z-Man may have had the best car in the field, the track rubbered-up early on and Bryan Rowland drove a great race while Zack finished second. Read the full story here. Sunday's show is rained out, so we'll make our 600th USMTS start on April 24 in Tipton, Iowa. Hoping to get a win close to home!

 Another USMTS race ... another runner-up finish. Tonight, Zack was a rocket as he had a good car in the heat but started in the last row and was only able to finish fourth. He started the feature in 10th and was really fast and methodically worked his way to the front. He challenged Rodney Sanders throughout the last 15 laps but wasn't able to make the pass. Had to settle for the runner-up paycheck for the third straight USMTS race.

 Finished 22nd in Main Event

 Tough night at the Cedar Lake Speedway Friday. Midway through the feature, Zack's #33z machine suffered a broken radiator and forced him out of the race in the 22nd finishing position. Luckily for the title hopes, our nearest competitor in the points, Stormy Scott, dropped out in 23rd and third in points, Johnny Scott, finished 14th, so we remain the points leader in the USMTS Farm Boy BBQ Sauce Northern Region.
