Michael Zemo, continues as the paid gun for the Z. Michael left employment in 2006 with one of our sponsors, Miller Electric, and is now a part of the IBEW 145 Apprenticeship Program working with Koehler Electric (sponsor of Davenport Speedway's Season Points Opener).

Michael enters his seventh season season and his fifth year as a full-time driver in the cockpit of the Z. He has gained confidence while on the track and will begin a new experience as he steps out of the D&M Terminator and begins his second year in the Mach 1. Challenges will be eminent this year as Michael strives to improve his stats in 2008.

• The 2002 season ended with a 6th place finish in the season championship race and a 9th place finish in points at Hawkeye Speedway.
  
  
• The 2003 season netted Rookie of Year in all divisions and finished with 12th place in points at Davenport Speedway.
  
  
• His 2004 season as a full-time driver netted him a 5th place points standing at Davenport Speedway and 12th place points standing at QC Speedway.
  
  
• In the 2005 season Michael accomplished a 6th place points standing at Davenport and a 4th place points standing at QC Speedway.
  
  
• In the 2006 season Michael accomplished a 9th place points standing at Davenport and a 7th place points standing at QC Speedway during a season that wreaked havoc.
  
  
• In the 2007 season Michael accomplished a 11th place points standing at Davenport and a 6th place points standing at QC Speedway.
