"Overall, this weekend was not our best performance on the track," said Zizzo. "Off track we had many activities that will be in my memory forever. Visiting the children at Texas Children's Hospital and hosting families from Heroes for Children reminds me that I am lucky to be racing in the NHRA and wonderfully blessed with a healthy family. I look forward to seeing all the fans next weekend at the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals in Atlanta."
