 Ross and the entire RZM team would like to thank Andy Jirik and Conrad Jorgenson for the opportunity to participate in the USST Challenge Series event at Iowa Speedway. Though the event at Hawkeye Downs was cancelled due to rain, the weekend was still busy and full of racing. This was a dream come true for Ross as he made the return to Newton, Iowa where he got his start in racing at the Newton Kart Klub. However this time the team was inside the new 7/8 mile speedway designed by former NASCAR Driver Rusty Wallace. Ross got a great feel for the speedway in his #5 USST Chevy, and quickly became one of the top drivers on the speed charts. Prior to Ross' qualifying lap there was a motor blown on the track, and speedy dry was placed in the corner to clear it up. Ross was on pace to be at the top of the scoring pylon, but a run in with the speedy dry upset the truck and cost him some time. Ross ended up 4th of the 25 present race truck drivers, and the invert of 13 would start Ross 10th in the Pride of Iowa USST 50 at the speedway. Ross had to fight through traffic all race, and issues on the initial start and restart left Ross trying to make up for lost ground. Running half a second faster than the majority of the field, and two tenths faster than the eventual race winner, Ross methodically worked his way towards the front. His last corner effort left him 3 wide with the 3rd and 4th place trucks and though he came up short Ross was pleased with a 5th place finish in his first ever USST start!

Next Events- Hawkeye Downs Speedway, Cedar Rapids, Iowa May 15 & Iowa Speedway, Newton, Iowa May 16- USST Series


Ross and the entire Ross Zumbach Motorsports team would like to welcome you to the 2009 Season, and all the exciting racing action that it will bring! Ross would like to take the time to thank all the 2009 Market Partners, SATA Dan-Am Spray Equip., Cost Cutters, House Chevrolet, Margaret Nelson-State Farm Insurance, Magnum Graphix and Gene Peterson!

Also, Ross would like to take the time to thank Andy Jirik and Brothers Jorgenson racing for the opportunity to drive their truck in the upcoming United Sates Super Truck series (USST) races at Hawkeye Downs and Iowa Speedway. This will be another large step in Ross' career, marking the first time without Dad as a crew chief. Though driving the truck will be a new experience, Ross is confident that his prior experiences in the Mid-Am car at Hawkeye Downs will directly translate to driving the truck. He has been fortunate enough to drive a similar truck at the Finishline Racing School in Edgewater, Florida and hopes that the transition will be smooth! Since the Iowa Speedway has been in existence it has been Ross' goal to get there, and on May 16th he will finally get his opportunity. Ross' very first race came at the age of 5 at the Newton Kart Klub in Newton, Iowa. Iowa Speedway sits only a few miles away from Ross' old stomping grounds, and this race will carry alot of meaning for the entire team. 

Be sure to support Ross at Hawkeye Downs and Iowa Speedway, as he makes his debut with Brothers Jorgenson Racing in the United States Super Truck series!

Unfortunately the Mid-Am race scheduled for April 25th was postponed due to poor weather conditions. The Mid-American Stock Car Series will make its return to The Downs on August 8th. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and the RZM team can make their return to the track they call home!

PREVIOUS EVENT:  (9/30-"Fall Classic Madsion International Speedway- Madison, WI-)

 After the highlight of Ross' with the win at the Milwaukee Mile, the team looked for similar results at Marshfield Super Speedway. However, due to never ending rain showers the race was cancelled and it was off to Madison. The night started bad when we lossed an HEI module, and had to replace it before practice began. The car was handling very well through the practice sessions, and Ross was very optimistic about the night to come. However, it was cut short in qualifying when the rear-end broke as Ross was getting up to speed. The team is now looking ahead to next year and what the 2009 season will have to offer! Check in soon, as updates will come as they happen!

-THANK YOU for your support in 2008!-

2008 Remaining Schedule

(As of 7/15)

 Another of the young guns joining the series in 2007 is Ross Zumbach of Racine, MN. Zumbach began his racing career at age 5 when he turned his first laps in a go-kart and moved to legend cars until the age of 15. Zumbach’s first year in a Mid-American stock car was impressive as he recorded 4 wins in his rookie year at Hawkeye Downs Speedway in Cedar Rapids Iowa. He was named Rookie of the Year and finished 5th in points only 28 points behind the champion. Zumbach sees the Mid-American Stock Car Series as the next step in his racing development. “Experience (is why I am running the series) and the challenge of running with top drivers every week,” said Zumbach of his decision to run with the Mid-American Stock Car Series in 2007. Zumbach’s goals for his racing career are just like those of any other young driver, “(I hope) to make it as far as possible, when the right opportunities present themselves I will be looking forward to them!” exclaimed Zumbach.

Zumbach made his Mid-American Stock Car Series debut at the Golden Sands Speedway on April 29th. A few problems clouded his practice and qualifying runs. However, Zumbach was impressive in working his way through the field of the last chance race missing a transfer position by only one spot. According to Zumbach’s website he will compete in the remaining events of the 2007 season.
