Zandar Peters Racing

10/08/2026

And just like that, the 2026 season is in the books. 🏁

When we started this season, we only planned on running a few events and seeing where the year took us. Somehow, those few races turned into so much more than we ever expected.

We ended up competing for a championship at Stateline Speedway and brought home 2nd place in the season championship. We got to stand on the podium with one of our best friends and Kevin Harvick, race at some incredible tracks, and make more memories than we could have imagined when the season started.

We wrapped up the season at the Fall Classic in Tri-Cities, where we took the car out for one last weekend of racing. Saturday night we finished 7th in the Pro Late after battling a loose racecar, and we brought home a 5th place finish in the Supers.

But honestly, the results only tell a small part of the story.

As many of you saw, we had a lot of work to do after our wreck in Wenatchee. With only two weeks between the wreck and the Fall Classic, getting this car back on the track was a massive undertaking. Our crew worked tirelessly for two straight weeks, putting in countless hours, late nights, and more work than we could ever properly thank them for.

And then there was everyone who stepped up to help us get there.

To everyone who donated, entered the drawing for the door, purchased tires, bought a t-shirt, helped with parts, or found another way to help us get back to the track, THANK YOU. Every single bit of support made a difference. It may have seemed like a small thing at the time, but every contribution got us that much closer to pulling this off. We truly could not have made it to Tri-Cities without all of you.

We also want to take a moment to recognize the sponsors who supported us throughout this season and helped make this entire program possible.

Thank you for believing in us, supporting what we do, and continuing to be a part of this program. We are incredibly grateful for every one of you.

A huge thank you as well to the Cars Tour West and the NWSLMS for continuing to bring great shows to the Northwest and giving us the opportunity to race alongside some of the best drivers in the region. We are grateful to have these series and the events they put together for us to be a part of.

And to our crew, thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it. You traveled with us, dedicated your weekends to us, spent countless hours at the track and in the shop, and put in the work to make every race happen. Especially these last two weeks, when there was no guarantee we would even make it back to the track, you never stopped working. We are incredibly grateful for every hour, every weekend, and every sacrifice you made for us this season.

To our families, friends, and everyone who has cheered us on all season long, thank you. Thank you for coming to the track, following along from home, sharing our posts, checking in after the tough nights, and celebrating the good ones with us.

A special thank you to Chase Gardner Racing for spotting for us so many weekends, putting in the time and effort to help with the car, and for all the time we’ve spent learning and growing alongside each other this season. We’re incredibly grateful for your friendship and everything you’ve brought to this season.

When we look back at the 2026 season, it’s pretty incredible to think that we started out planning on only a few races and ended up with a championship fight, podium finishes, some really special opportunities, and a whole lot of memories along the way.

And then, somehow, we finished it by taking a car that had been wrecked just two weeks earlier and putting it back on the track at the Fall Classic. One heck of a final weekend.

Most importantly, we finished the season surrounded by people who showed us just how much this racing family means.

Thank you to everyone who was a part of 2026. We appreciate you more than you know. 🩷🏁

Until next season…

Definitely a heartbreaker tonight. We were fighting our way toward the front when we were involved in a very scary wreck.

As tough as it is to see the night end that way, we truly cannot be more thankful that both Chase and Zandar are okay. That’s what matters most.

It was such a testament to the safety equipment in these cars. A huge thank you to the entire safety crew for their incredibly quick response and for taking care of everyone involved.

Racing can change in a split second, and tonight was a reminder of just how important that safety crew and equipment are. We’re incredibly grateful to see all drivers walk away. 🩷

Sometimes you don’t need many words. The highlight reel tells the story pretty well.

A night full of setbacks, resilience, and fighting our way back through the field… more than once.

We’re proud of the car we brought and what we showed on the track. It’s hard not to be heartbroken over what could have been because we know we had more in us. But that’s racing.

One of the biggest wins was loading a race car that’s ready to fight another day. After the kind of night it was, we’re incredibly thankful to be in that position, knowing many other teams weren’t.

We’ll keep digging, keep improving, and keep showing up.

Huge thank you to:

Zandar Peters Returns to the “Weather Guard Roofing - Kennedy Classic 200”

Spokane, WA – Zandar Peters has made only one start in his Super Late Model at South Sound Speedway (WA) in 2026, finishing fifth in the “Wes Rhodes 126”. He will now return to his home track to participate with the Northwest Super Late Model Series presented by Knottical Marine in the “Weather Guard Roofing – Kennedy Classic 200” on August 1st. It will be Peters fourth start in the event, where he shows only one finish outside the top 10. A possible $13,000 could go to the eventual winner.

The 2021 South Sound Speedway (SSS) Mini-Stock champion is confident that he will bring a fast racecar to the 25th running of this event. But he will also have an unusual challenge next weekend, that could make his adventures more difficult, but more fun as well.

“We have always had a fast car for the “200”, Peters explained. “It being my home track, I have lots of laps there. We have always been running fast, when bad luck strikes. Hopefully we will be washing that away, as we will bring a fast race car there this year. One of the biggest challenges I am going to run into is racing against my spotter and setup guy J.J. Hamilton, as South Sound Speedway is his home track as well. It will be a fun battle for sure.”

Peters made two starts with the NWSLMS in 2024’s abbreviated Rookie-of-the-Year campaign. He finished sixth in the season opening “Apple Cup 125” at Tri-City Raceway RMEC (WA). But hidden damage to his Super Late Model didn’t see the Eatonville, WA racer return until the season finale “Fall Classic 200”, at the same tricky triangle. He made a third series attempt in 2025, but a practice accident at the “Summer Showdown 200” ended a promising weekend early at Evergreen Speedway (WA). Peters is coming off a solid eighth-place finish in the “Idaho 200” at Mode Stadium Stateline Speedway (ID), and he plans to use that experience to prepare for the 200-lap grind at SSS.

“Coming off of the ‘Idaho 200”, I’m preparing the same way as that race, staying hydrated all week leading up to the race, and focusing on keeping the car clean and racing hard. One of the most important challenges is trying to qualify up into the top 10 for track position.”

The Northwest Mini Stock Tour winner at SSS is thankful for his supporters, who make the “Weather Guard Roofing – Kennedy Classic 200” weekend possible.

“I would really like to thank PF Race Carz, NW Wraps, Quality Quick L**e, Margo’s Tasty Treats, Prothman, and Grandma and Pop-Pop for their support, and allowing me to participate in the “200” next weekend.”

On August 1st, the NWSLMS will return to South Sound Speedway for the “Weather Guard Roofing - Kennedy Classic 200” for the first time since 2021. The traditional “Miller 200” date will be the series second trip to this established tradition and will be Round #3 of the season series, after the rainout at Mode Stadium Stateline Speedway (ID). It will pay a minimum of $5,000 to win with $8,000 paid out in lap leader money, thanks to Northern Provincial Pipelines LTD. Nearly 20 Super Late Models are already planning to compete with more entries expected. Trenton Moriarity was the victor the last time the event was contested under the NWSLMS banner in 2021.

Remaining Schedule:
August 1 – Weather Guard Roofing – Kennedy Classic 200 " - South Sound Speedway
August 29 - Neal Newberry 125" - Wenatchee Valley Super-Oval
October 4 - "Fall Classic 200" - Tri-City Raceway RMEC
