Spainiak Racing

— had a great time at the 2025 New Smyrna Little 500 race to finish out his first year of quarter midget racing. Earned a spot in both B Mains over the weekend in only his fourth race weekend at the Senior Honda level and against some very talented national drivers. Had worked his way from 10th to 5th in the final B Main with a good shot at making the final A Main, but clipped a kid who had spun out in front of him in a corner with 5 laps to go and snapped a front tie rod on his #29 ride. Anyways, what a first season, with one national win in NJ, a 2nd place national finish in Richmond, and multiple local wins and podium appearances. Onward and upward in the 2026 season which officially starts in March. 🏁🏁🏁

Thanks to all of Zach’s 2025 sponsors — Ariel Seafood , Lucky- U Cycles, Skate Fast Don't Die, Lakeside Realty, Griffis Automotive Clinic, Inc, and Lucky Feather Photography. Huge thanks to Merrill Performance and Culver Motorsports for always having Zach’s #29 ride ready to roll!

Zach officially advanced from "rookie" status and raced his first QM Senior Honda class yesterday. He went from 7th to 4th in his qualifying heat and made a valiant effort in his main, but got tangled up a couple times on the track - sustaining a minor hand injury. He's happy to be mixing it up with some speedy competitors though! So...rest, recovery, and back to the track! Excited for this next phase of his racing journey.

Thank you to his awesome sponsors: Griffis Automotive Repair, Inc, Lucky- U Cycles Lakeside Realty, Ariel Seafood, Skate Fast Don't Die

We are also so thankful to his stellar team (Joe, Mike, & Austin) at Merrill Performance and Culver Motorsports for all they do to make Zach's motor (and racing heart) hum!!

Until next time...
