VanderBeek renews partnership with Casey’s General Stores, kicks off 2015 campaign at Shady Oaks Speedway

VanderBeek renews partnership with Casey’s General Stores, kicks off 2015 campaign at Shady Oaks Speedway

NEW SHARON, Iowa—Zack VanderBeek and the 33z Racing team will kick off the 2015 racing season this Thursday-Saturday, Feb. 12-14, at the Shady Oaks Speedway in Goliad, Texas, for the first United States Modified Touring Series race of the year.

And while the popular racetrack located about an hour and a half from San Antonio will be a new experience for VanderBeek and his team, fans will see a familiar name on the side of his racecar with Casey’s General Stores back on board as a marketing partner in 2015.

“The support we get from Casey’s General Stores and all of our other fantastic sponsors is what makes it possible for us to compete with the USMTS on a consistent basis,” VanderBeek said. “Just like our race team, Casey’s is all about family, and we couldn’t be happier to have them be a part of our racing family.”

Casey’s General Store is an Iowa-based company that gives back to the communities through sponsorships, gifts and most notably this past year with their involvement with the “Honor Flights” for the veterans. Casey’s General Stores also remains the main corporate sponsor for the USMTS series that we are racing in.

This week, ‘The Z-Man’ and the 33z Racing team are headed to Southern Texas for the first of four straight weekends of three-day events in the USMTS MVT Gulf Coast Border Region.

After picking up the Farm Boy BBQ Sauce Northern Region title last year and finishing runner-up in the fight for the USMTS National Championship, the driver and team is more focused and hungrier than ever to get back on the road and back in victory lane.

After this week’s lid-lifter, the team heads to the Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas, Feb. 19-21; El Paso (Texas) Speedway Park, Feb. 26-28; and Southern New Mexico Speedway in Las Cruces, N.M., March 5-7.

After completion of the MVT Gulf Coast Border Region, plans for the 2015 season include a full slate of racing in the USMTS Central Region, USMTS Farm Boy BBQ Sauce Northern Region and the season-ending Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup.

In addition, VanderBeek will compete in several USMTS crown Jewel events including the King of America V, World Modified Dirt Track Championships, Fall Jamboree and Winter Nationals.

As his schedule allows, the 30-year-old from New Sharon, Iowa, will also pilot an IMCA Stock Car at his home track Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa on Wednesday nights, as well as taking in some USRA Modified special events when possible.

33z Racing has brand new T-shirts and hoodies for 2015 on hand at the team’s pit area all week long. Stop by, say hello and pick yourself up one of these awesome shirts designed by Forty9 Designs.

In addition to Casey’s General Stores, 33z Racing would like to thank the following marketing partners for their continued support: AERO Race Wheels, AFCO Racing Products, American Building Components, Beyea Custom Headers, ButlerBuilt Professional Seat Systems, Driven Racing Oil, Eibach Springs, Fast Shafts, FK Rod Ends, Forty9 Designs, Grandpa & Grandma Garrison, Hooker Custom Harness, LG2 by Jimmy Owens, McGriff's of New Sharon, Murty Farms, Old World Meats, Out-Pace Racing Products, Precision Performance, Pro-Line Buildings, QuickCar Racing Products, Right Foot Performance Products, Sput's Racing Engines, Sunoco Racing Fuels, Tulip City Insurance Agency, Waterman Racing Components, Wayne Dalton Doors, Wehrs Machine & Racing Products and Wilwood Disc Brakes.
