MAX ZACHEM SECURES RIDE TO RUN FULL VMRS SCHEDULE IN 2011
PRESTON, CT. – A series of events this week have put Max Zachem back into the fold, with plans to run the full Valenti Modified Racing Series schedule in a newly purchased Modified race car.
Zachem, an accomplished teenage driver with championships and many victories in both Quarter-Midgets and Legend Car Series events, finished eighth in the VMRS season standings in 2010 as a rookie driver. The new deal will put Zachem into a 2004 Troyer Chassis, purchased from Daryl Lewis in upstate New York. His new team will put a Bob Brunneau engine into the car. The motor was offered to Zachem by former Modified driver Bobby Gegetskas and Bruce Batcha for use this season. Zachem swapped some of his Legend car equipment to purchase a second motor as a backup.

Kevin Harvick Press Conference
KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 29 BUDWEISER CHEVROLET, met with members of the media at NASCAR Daytona Media day and discussed the 10-year anniversary of KHI, the new points system, the Budweiser Shootout and much more. Full transcript:
WITH IT BEING THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF KEVIN HARVICK, INC. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BEGINNINGS AND HOW MUCH SUCCESS YOU’VE HAD? “We’ve been fortunate to have the company evolve. It really wasn’t ever intended to be anything other than just to go out and have fun and try to win a truck race. When (Tony) Stewart came along and wanted to run the Nationwide race it really evolved into what it is today. So it’s probably mostly his fault that it evolved into what it is today. Its fun and I really enjoy the part of trying to put the people together and the sponsorship and everything that goes with that to make it all go around. So it’s become kind of its own animal I guess you can say as it evolves into what it is today. We try to do everything we can do. We don’t do it to make money or anything like that, we just do it to be a part of the sport and learn what we need to do so that one day when I’m done we’ll have the option of having hopefully a company that’s fully paid for and competitive if we want to stay in the sport.”
