1 Professional Race Driver Resume Tinkle Family Racing 8926 N Greenwood Ave #153 Niles, IL

2 Introduction My name is Zachary Tinkle. I m an up and coming pro race car driver from Park Ridge, IL and currently race a pro late model with Lorz Motorsports in the JEGS/ CRA All-Stars Tour series. I finished my 2017 season by running more the 2,000 laps at five different tracks to train in the late model while competing and winning the 2017 Central States Region Super Cups Championship along with the Fastest Qualifier for the Year award. I also competed in two late model races to prepare for my move up in 2018 to a full time season in the late model. My ultimate goal is to race the NASCAR Monster Energy Series with a top level team. What sets me apart from other racers is my YouTube channel with a loyal fan base. We also have a great list of people from over 30 states and several countries that sign up for hero cards on my website. I m passionate about all aspects of racing history, trivia, video games, and of course, suiting up and going out on the track to race.
