Sacramento, CA – February 9, 2011…The youngest winner in the history of the Golden State 410 Sprint Car Series will be signing autographs on Friday at the Sacramento Autorama, as Zach Zimmerly will be at the King of the West Sprint Car Series booth from 5pm to 8pm.
Last season Zimmerly captured the annual Tribute to Gary Patterson at Chico’s Silver Dollar Speedway on June 11, and in doing so, became the youngest driver to win a Golden State 410 Series feature at 16-years and one-month old.
The Vancouver, Washington gasser also had a strong outing during last year’s Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at the Skagit Speedway, finishing runner-up on all three-nights of the $25,000-to-win event. Despite missing a handful of races “Super Z” last year finished seventh in the final Golden State Series standings.
Zimmerly will join Elk Grove’s Kyle Larson at the Golden State King of the West Sprints booth on Friday night, pairing the youngest Golden State champion with the youngest main event winner. More information on 16-year-old Zach Zimmerly can be found at http://www.zachzimmerly.com
The KWS booth at the Sacramento Autorama will be part of a Northern California motorsports display that also includes Calistoga Speedway, which will feature the famed Walt Ross No. 56 Special on hand. In addition to that, USAC will also have a booth as part of the display and will have Tony Hunt’s Western States championship winning car in attendance.
