Lincolnshire, Ill. - Zizzo Racing has been hard at work during their time off between their last race weekend in June, which produced the fastest run to date for the team, and this weekend's upcoming MAC Tools U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, Ind.
"We have more parts and pieces than ever before," TJ Zizzo said. "The team has not stopped
working all summer long building up our inventory for our next four races. We have almost
everything finished one week ahead of schedule and have had this last week to tie up loose
ends."
Indianapolis is the start of the Count Down to the Championship and will host more cars than any other event this year. "Everyone comes out of the woodwork for "The Big Go," Zizzo said. "We expect to be competitive and give the guys at the top of the points race something to think about as we approach Pomona."

Expo Dry Erase Markers and Driver TJ Zizzo Team Up to Support Kids in Need Foundation and Teachers Treasures Charities
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (August 28, 2010) - As the school year gets off to a speedy start, so do Top Fuel Dragsters at the biggest race of the year, the MAC Tools U.S. Nationals. Expo® Dry Erase Markers is taking to the track as an associate sponsor of driver TJ Zizzo, who with Expo's backing, is racing to support the Kids in Need Foundation, a national, non-profit organization dedicated to providing free school supplies to economically disadvantaged school children and under-funded teachers.
This Labor Day weekend, Expo Dry Erase Markers will donate 1000 feet of markers (the length of every race) for every round won by Zizzo, including qualifying rounds, to Teachers Treasure, a local Kids in Need Foundation affiliate.

JOLIET, Ill. - After rain, rain, and more rain on Friday, TJ Zizzo started his weekend off with a personal best run of 3.874 at 311.27 mph, which was good enough for a number five qualifying spot after day one.
"We were super pumped about our pass on Friday," Zizzo said. "Carrying over what we did in Atlanta to our first run in Joliet was a boost to the team, because with time off between races you always worry about picking up where you left off. To run a personal best on the opening day of qualifying at our home town track was a great feeling, especially when you can receive a standing ovation after the run from rain soaked die hard fans."
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill - Fresh off a good showing in Atlanta, Zizzo Racing continues to prepare this week for a home town event at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Ill. "This is a home town race for Zizzo Racing and PEAK Performance Products so the pressure is on," TJ Zizzo said. "There will be a lot of support from family and friends at the track and we look forward to having the entire PEAK Entourage in our pits this weekend."
One of those family members at the track this weekend will be experiencing her first NHRA National event. TJ's daughter Madeline could potentially be the third generation of Zizzo's to drive a dragster. "She has three years to go, but I assume she will have a pink junior dragster waiting for her when she turns eight," Zizzo said. "She already subscribes to Jr. Dragster and after this weekend if she's anything like her grandfather or dad, she'll be totally addicted."
