TULSA, Okla. - Two out of three in baseball will win pennants and make a hitter a hall of famer.  The Race News Magazine Top Fuel Team, driven by TJ Zizzo, had the good fortune of racing in two of the first three final rounds during 2007 Knoll-Gas Nitro Jam events. Unfortunately for Zizzo, the Skull Shine Sooner Nationals at Tulsa Raceway Park wasn't one of the events.

In the first round showdown with Scott Palmer, Zizzo would find himself behind from the start. "I probably should have pedaled the car a little sooner," Zizzo said. "I felt the tires start to shake and I thought I could just drive through it. I tried to pedal it, but when I did I just smoked the 'hoops' all three times."

"We're going to work on our warm weather set up," Tony Zizzo, team owner added. "We've got a little work to do to get used to these tires in the heat."
