He works as a contractor and owns his own construction and roofing business. In addition to his loving parents, he is supported just as much from his grandparents on both sides. You will very rarely see Zack race where his whole family is not in attendance. Currently, Zack attends school at Creekside Middle School. He is a grade A student and has many friends.

Zack has been interested in some form of racing most of his life. Like his parents, Zack is very competitive and does his best at everything he does. Zack began racing Quarter Midgets in 2001 and excelled quickly. In his first year he finished 3rd overall in points and has been hooked since.

What is your favorite race track and why?
Zack loves to race anywhere. But, his favorite track is currently the New Smyrna Speedway in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. And he can not wait to race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona, Florida.
