DINWIDDIE, Va. -- T.J. Zizzo and the PEAK/HERCULINER/O'Reilly Top Fuel Dragster will make an unscheduled stop this weekend at the Virginia NHRA Nationals just outside of Richmond. Qualifying for the October 10-12 event begins Friday.

"We got home from Memphis and turned the car around like it was the second round of eliminations," Zizzo said. "No one was ready for the season to end."

Tony Zizzo, team owner agreed. He made several productive phone calls. The support from PEAK and HERCULINER sealed the deal.

"We wanted to build on our momentum from Indy and Memphis," Zizzo, Sr. said. "I'm glad our partners feel the same way."

"We're in the peak of the PEAK Antifreeze season," T.J. said. "As soon as we got the word from Brian Bohlander at Old World Industries I sent a text message to the team. Everyone was packed and ready to go."

"We've got a better shot at winning the racing if we're there than if we're sitting at home watching it on ESPN," Zizzo joked.

"We didn't want our season to end the way it did in Memphis," T.J said of the team's first round tire smoking loss to Doug Kalitta. "We've got a great team and these guys deserve another round win before the winter gets here."
