Idaho 200 Race Recap
What a weekend!
After years of coming up just short, Team Zero Racing finally broke through and qualified for our second Idaho 200 at Stateline Speedway—a huge milestone for our team.
We came out strong in qualifying with a personal-best 13.2-second lap, which put us 24th overall and sent us to a qualifying heat race.
Quick Results
• Qualifying: 24th overall with a personal-best 13.2-second lap
• Heat Race: 3rd place, sending us to the LCQ
• LCQ: Finished 2nd and transfer into the main event
• Main Event: 11th place
We finished third in the heat race, which sent us to the LCQ. Needing to finish fourth or better to make the Idaho 200, the pressure was on. The team rose to the challenge, and we did what we needed to do to lock ourselves into the main event.
When the green flag dropped for the Idaho 200, our goal was simple: race smart, stay patient, and be there at the end.
Unfortunately, we were caught up in an on-track incident that damaged the left front wheel and suspension. Even with the damage, this team never gave up. We battled through the adversity and crossed the finish line in 11th place.
While we always race to win, an 11th-place finish after everything we faced is something we’re proud of. Every lap taught us something, and every race makes us stronger. We’ll build on this momentum and come back even better.
