Zemunik Looks Towards A Zestful Return To The USA

After a successful first visit to the United States in 2016, Perth Western Australia's Sean Zemunik has announced his planned return to the United States for the 2017 Sprint Car season. The team will return with an ambitious 50 race schedule planned from the middle of May until the end of July. The team will base themselves out of Attica, Ohio but are planning to travel to Pennsylvania, and select World Of Outlaw, All Star, USAC, and MOWA events across the region. “We will be basing our Friday nights at the Attica Raceway Park and our Saturdays at the Wayne County Speedway, however we are also looking forward to getting out on the road to a number of new tracks in 2017” Sean Zemunik explained. “We are looking forward to heading back to PA for 15 shows this year. We had a decent showing out there in 2016, with 6 A-Main starts out of our 7 shows and will be looking to add some top 10 finishes out that way this year”. Zemunik looks to bring his home land momentum to the USA with him, winning 3 A Mains to date behind the wheel of the Graeme Sexton entry.

Upgrading their engine program during the off season, thanks to Dennis Level at Level Performance in Fremont, Ohio, the team believes they will have additional speed in 2017 with the purchase of a new Level 410 engine.

The family based operation will attack their 2017 American Tour once again under the direction of Sean’s father Rocka Zemunik as crew chief, with Sean's wife Deborah, and a friendly addition of fellow Australian and long-time friend Jack Alfirevich, as Jack will fly over to join the Zemunik family for the 2017 tour. “It is a big effort for us as a small family team to fly over and run this type of schedule, but we are all excited about the opportunities that this brings and can’t wait for May to arrive” Sean explained.

The team is currently putting funding together for their 2017 American Tour as they are actively looking for marketing partners to join the team for the season. “We feel that we provide a professional race car and race team that can successfully promote a local business to a wider audience” Sean Zemunik said. “We are excited about the opportunities we can bring to a local business and look forward to forming long-standing partnerships in the future”.

That's one busy schedule! I look forward to seeing him race in my area.

[Simon_says17]

Has he ran any wingless shows before this year?

[revjimk]

Winged & wingless.... excellent! It would be cool if more American racers tried that

[Duane Hancock]

2 shows, last year the sprint car program during Midget Week at Montpelier and Gas City

[Simon_says17]

Awesome! Glad he didn't get scared away. Don't see many guys from the other side of the globe take the wings off. Props to him!

I met Sean (and his family) last year at Gas City when he took off the wing for the first night. He is genuinely one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. After talking to him, I found it hard not to root for this guy. He doesn't have large funding our the best equipment. Just over here touring around for the love of racing. If you get a chance, stop down and say hi. You wont regret it. It's great seeing guys like this around.

Good luck Sean. Our Australian Month of Money tour group this year looks forward to catching up with you on July 11th, 13th, 26th and 27th when our schedules coincide.

All the best .... Pete Physick
