BREAKING NEWS: Zach Newlin’s 410 Sprint Car Return Set for Saturday 5/21 at Port Royal

Zach Daddy is back.

It has been 61 days since Zach Newlin took a nasty ride at Port Royal Speedway that put him on the sidelines with head and neck injuries.  Since that day, appointments, effort and patience have all been vital elements to his return.

Friday night, May 20th, he strapped back in for the first time since that crash.  He was aboard the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 sprint car at Williams Grove Speedway.  While Newlin has been feeling great on a day to day basis, the goal Friday was to evaluate how he felt in the car, at speed.

All went well.  After a 5th place finish in his heat race, Newlin drove from 13th to 7th in the 20-lap A-main.  Given his time away and the fact is was the first race of the year for the No.21m, that’s a solid night for sure.  The best news though was that Newlin felt 100% normal physically.

During his time away, Newlin parted ways with the Pryde Motorsports No.29 and began working on new opportunities.  With Friday’s ‘test’ behind him, it is now time to begin the next chapter.

Zach Newlin will return to 410 sprint car action aboard the BK Motorsports No.k77.  The new team will make their debut at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night, May 21st.  Plans are to also compete at Path Valley Speedway on Sunday, May 22nd.

Newlin is appreciative of the support and concern he has received over the past two months from fans, friends, family and the racing community as a whole.

He is also appreciative of his long time partners who have stuck with him through all the changes the sport brings.  The Grove Financial & Associates / Dillman Hauling / Ron’s RV Sales / Kirby Kitner Excavating / Christine Booher, Realtor / T&M Homebuilders / Strange Oval / Walker Performance Filtration / Newlin Bar Service, BK Motorsports No.k77 is ready to roll and Zach Daddy is ready to strap in and get back to work.
