For Immediate Release:

Lil’ New Smyrna Speedway, located inside of the “Big” New Smyrna Speedway in Samsula, FL, hosted this years Quarter Midget “States” Race. This event started on Sunday; May 25, with the finals taking place on Monday; May 26, 2003. On Sunday the 2002 Jr. Honda Champion, Zack Donatti, set a new track record in the heat of the day. Donatti blistered the track with a record run of 6.560 seconds, blowing the old track record out the window. This qualified him for the pole position in the A Main which ran on Monday. QMA Rules mandate that the top 4 positions have to be inverted, that relegated Donatti to the outside of the second row.

After maneuvering his way to the front, an altercation with another race car resulted in Donatti being forced to the pits with a flat tire. Before the checkered flag fell on lap 30, Donatti had to fight his way from last place “twice” and finally took the win in the 2003 States Race.

The States Race qualifies drivers for all QM National events.

The Donatti Race Team will be attending the Eastern Grands and also traveling to Gasoline Alley for “Mini Indy” from July 10-13, 2003.

Zack Donatti is a 2002 graduate of the FinishLine Quarter Midget Race School and races a Nervo-Coggins chassis. For more information about the school visit www.quartermidget.biz
