LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. (August 27, 2007) - TJ Zizzo and the PEAK Antifreeze Top Fuel Dragster will be doing a little work this Labor Day weekend and TJ is not hearing any complaints from his crew. In fact they are all looking forward to it.
Labor Day will mark the return of Zizzo Racing to the NHRA POWERade schedule for the Aug. 29-Sept. 3 Mac Tools U.S. Nationals at O'Reilly Raceway Park. The Indianapolis event is considered to be one of the most prestigious drag races in the world and Zizzo and his crew are looking forward to being a part of the action.
"We're going there to have some fun," said Zizzo who currently leads the points standings in the Knoll-Gas Motorsports Nitro Jam Drag Series. "There's a lot of pressure on those teams in the Countdown to the Championship. We just want to come over here and mix it up a little. The only pressure we have is to help PEAK Antifreeze celebrate their 60th anniversary."
PEAK will celebrate their 60th anniversary by featuring a commemorative dragster that will be driven by TJ at the U.S Nationals. The dragster will also be featured in special point-of-sale displays at O'Reilly Auto Parts stores throughout September.
On Wednesday August 29, fans will be able to join in the PEAK celebration when Zizzo and the dragster make Indianapolis area appearances. TJ will be signing autographs and available for photos from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the O'Reilly Auto Parts located at 33 Declaration Drive in Greenwood, Indiana. Later that same day, Zizzo and the PEAK Dragster will be at the O'Reilly Auto Parts from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. the location is at 7250 Pendleton Pike in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Zizzo's first professional round win was during the 2004 running of the U.S. Nationals, a feat that he hopes to repeat in 2007. "We'd love to get another round win under our belts during the U.S. Nationals," Zizzo said. "We've had a pretty consistent car all season long. If we can keep that consistency and just take it one step at a time we'll be OK. The first step is to make the field."
