Teen Race Car Driver Puts the Pedal to the Metal to Help Homeless Pets

Indiana teen and race car driver Zachary Tinkle’s 2021 season was speeding along last June when his beloved father’s stroke nearly brought his career to a screeching halt.

The professional stock car driver, then 18 and racing in the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour, needed to cope with the stress of his dad being hospitalized and find a way to keep racing after his family-funded team had to shut down.
