Rachel Zabawa Racing

Absolute rollercoaster weekend for the 62 car of Rachel Zabawa.

Friday night we came out swinging, starting 2nd, but chaos at the end dropped us back to 9th. Lost a couple spots right at the line avoiding contact with Jake in turn 4—kept it clean, even when it cost us. With it being a non-points race, we used the night as a full shakedown after a complete rebuild—getting Rachel comfortable and dialing the car back in.

Saturday night was all grit. Rolled off 13th and charged forward to 7th, carving through the field. Then around lap 8—no brakes. Front brake bolts snapped and it could’ve ended right there… but Rachel held on and still brought it home.

It wasn’t pretty, and it wasn’t the finish we’re after—but the speed is there and the fight is real.

We’ll regroup, fix the issues, and come back ready to make some noise next race. 💪🏁

Yesterday, we celebrated someone who means a lot to our team — Rachel Zabawa. We held off on posting so she could enjoy her birthday without the constant notifications, but today we want to take a moment to recognize her.

Rachel isn’t just a driver — she’s a leader, a mentor, and a huge part of what makes this team what it is. From setting the pace on the track to helping others grow in the sport, she represents everything we stand for. Coming off a championship season, she continues to raise the bar for everyone around her.

Please join us in wishing Rachel Zabawa a very Happy Birthday. We’re proud to have you leading the way and can’t wait to see what this next year brings. 🏁

Been a while since I have posted. A lot has happened in the last few months. Firstly, I want to start with a question I have been asked a lot lately. February 3, 2026, my mom had a stroke. Racing has taken a complete back seat until she was released from the hospital and back home. Most importantly, she is on the mend and doing a lot better.

Middle of March I finally started the process of breaking down the car to fix a few things on the frame and send it off to powder coat. Super thankful to Lucas Speed Factory to letting me rebuild the car in his shop.

My goal is to have the car back together and racing the first race in May at Gulf Coast Speedway.

Thank you to our race sponsors for understanding and to our race family that has checked in on us.

We’ll hopefully see you at the next race.
