Jeremy Zufall Roaring Knob Dirt Track Race Results October 19, 2012

Results from this past weekend dirt track FASTRAK racing at Roaring Knob:

Qualifying and Heat races were Friday night. Jeremy finished 6th in the 3rd heat, missing the transfer spot to the A main by one. After a rain out Saturday, when racing resumed on Sunday, he won the 2nd B Main from the pole to transfer to the A main. This put him starting 21st, only to have a short night by getting hit and causing the steering rack to break in the car. This ended the night with a 23rd place finish. Jeremy won the B Main and made the A Feature!

Friday night Jeremy got started with qualifying and four drivers were able to lower Max Blair’s previous track record of 16.897 set at the last Tour event on September 28 led by Will Thomas with a new standard of 16.631! Thomas also won the first heat race in addition to Pegher, Blair, and Flinner, who also all had laps faster than the previous standard. B main winners on Sunday were Brian Knowles and Jeremy Zufall.

B Main #2 (8 laps/Top 2 transfer to A): 1. Jeremy Zufall 2. K.C. Burdette 3. Ryan Montgomery 4. Toby Massie 5. Ron Smithley 6. Scott Chenowetch 7. J.T. Baird-DNS

Rain Rain Go Away. Muddy Dirt Tracks!

Nothing interesting to post lately because of all the rain.  When dirt tracks get wet, the dirt track auto races get canceled.  Lately, the last few races were canceled, including Jeremy's JOY night and autograph night at Dog Hollow Raceway.  Jeremy raced his dad's Charger last night at Roaring Knob.  More to come on that one.  Hopefully, see you on the dirt track soon!

Jeremy Zufall Dog Hollow Race Results July 6th 2012

Another interesting night at Dog Hollow as Jeremy finishes 5th in the rained out make up Feature.  Here are the results from Dog Hollow's website:

Stoystown Auto Wreckers FASTRAK Late Models Make Up Feature from June 29 (15):  Mike Laughard, Joe Moyer, John Eckenrod, Tim Snare, Jr., Jeremy Zufall, Jeremy Shaffer, Joey Petyak, John Mazey, Butch Moyer, Ed Kline, Wes McKeel, Rich Logan, Andrew Satterlee, DNS:  Bernie Whiteford, and Howdy Eckenrod.

Jeremy started in the 4th place position, but then he spun out and had to go to the end of the line.  He made a great come back though, driving aggressively and winding up in 5th place.  

In the regular feature for the night, a couple of cars sandwiched him in and one in front of him wrecked.  That was a problem as his car was pretty badly damaged (the shell was at least).  He left the track and it didn't look like he was going to make it back out onto the track.  As we started to walk away we heard the roar of his engines making his way back on the track just as the race started again.  He passed a few cars but wasn't able to make up much more ground then that.  You can see the pics here of the damage that was done to his Late Model.  We're glad that no one was hurt as a result of the crashes though.

 

Jeremy Zufall Race Results Dog Hollow June 30 2012

Dirt Track Auto Racing Results From Joy Manufacturing Company:  June 30 results from Dog Hollow Speedway:

Good job Jeremy.  Jeremy Zufall took 2nd in the 8 lap Heat Race at Dog Hollow.  After the redraw, he was shown on the board starting 5th in feature but got moved to 4th, due to some issues with the 2 car. He got out on the track, but mother nature had other plans. The rain and lighting took everyone to the pits for a rain out.  Double features will be next Fri at Dog Hollow Speedway.  See you on the dirt track July 6, 2012.

Jeremy Won His Heat Race at Roaring Knob June 2, 2011

We knew he could do it.  Jeremy finished first in his heat race at Roaring Knob Speedway in Markleysburg on Saturday June 2, 2011.  We all had high hopes for the feature event.  He started out great for the first lap or two, holding his own, when all of a sudden he started to slow down, falling behind rapidly.  He came to a complete stop as the caution flag went out.  Hopes were dashed.  Jeremy's Fastrak Late Model broke down.  It had to be towed off the track and he was out of the race having been unable to repair the car in time.  Dirt track auto racing has so many ups and downs.  Jeremy has been racing so well, but his late model still has some problems that need to be fixed and more money is needed to keep the late model well maintained.  Many of the dirt track racers in his class have money, come from money and have numerous sponsors.  For anyone starting out, be aware that it does take quite a bit of money if you want to be a serious contender on the dirt track.  For those who don't have the amount of money to maintain a late model, don't expect miracles.  You can be a great driver but if the dirt track car you are driving isn't competitive, you won't be either.

Jeremy will come back and we are hoping that his mechanical problems will be solved so he can get on the track and do what he does best.  Drive!  See you on the dirt track!

Jeremy Zufall Dirt Track Race Results Roaring Knob Sat May 5 2012

RAINED OUT!  Spring is here for the dirt track auto racers.  One BIG, black storm cloud decided to hang right over Roaring Knob (near Ohio Pyle) and then dump a load of rain onto the track and onto the unhappy dirt track racers and crowd.  All the heat races were complete and then one feature race was completed but then they called it a night.  No rain checks though.

The results from Saturday, May 5 at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex... Jeremy started 6th in the Heat race after a bad pill draw in the Hot laps but made a nice recovery with a 4th place finish! The Feature was rained out and the make up features will take place over the next few weeks.   Jeremy's dad Jim Zufall also raced.  He spent most of the race with mud covering his faceplate.  Not the place you want to be in on the dirt track, that's for sure.   

It's a fun night out for the whole family.  See you on the dirt track, hopefully the next time the sun shines.

Great First Race for Jeremy Zufall at Dog Hollow Speedway April 20, 2011

First race of the season for Jeremy Zufall was at Dog Hollow Speedway in Strongstown PA.  He did well in the feature, almost grabbing 3rd place, but being edged out at the last minute by two drivers closely competing with one another.  He ended up 5th but his Fastrak Late Model served him well.  With a few more adjustments and a few new tires he will be good to go for the next race at Roaring Knob next weekend. 

His dad, Jim Zufall also raced in the stock car division.  He didn't win but in Jim's case, getting in his stock car and racing around the track is a win in itself.  He spends most of his time as Jeremy's pit crew along with Jeremy's uncles and mom who is his photographer.  His fans include Alexia and Ava his daughters and his wife, Sara.  His grandma, pap and other aunts and sister try to come as often as possible along with his other regular fans.

He should be getting the Joy logo in soon so that may be ready for next week.  See you on the dirt track auto racing track!
