PARK RIDGE, Ill. - June 12, 2017 - PRLog -- Tinkle Family Racing arrived at Anderson Speedway for a private practice Friday in hopes that an engine issue that plagued them the previous race had been resolved. But, alas, it was still an Achilles heel. After staying up late with help from someone knowledgeable on minicup carburetors, they arrived at the track race day holding their breath that all was well with the car. Luckily, the issue was fixed. Zachary Tinkle was pleased and said the car felt the best it ever had and commented, "no changes!"
Knowing his times in test were good, Tinkle went out for qualifying with high hopes. Sure enough, he qualified as the fastest qualifier with a time of 15.533 - almost a half second faster than the rest of the field.

When starting his on-track interview, the announcer said, "The only way to describe your performance tonight was domination. You had an awesome car." Zachary Tinkle responded, "This is the best our car has ever been… I want to thank the military for their service and I want to thank my mom and dad. They worked their butts off trying to get me in this today and for their really cool support…"
