I was listening to the race, ASCS 360 in which Tony won and his teammate Jessica Zemken finished one lap down. I went searching for some information and found her website:

http://www.jessica-zemken.com/index.html

And a few pictures of Tony and Jessica near his race cars.

Sincerely,

Larry "O"


P.S. I also found this link about Jessica and her sprint car racing. Another great story. Good luck to her and a must read:

The following link has some of Jessica's career stats in racing:

This last link has a video of some of her sprint car wins:

Well, if Tony is hustling her, I can't say as I blame him.

I can't avoid this post...sorry...lol! When I was searching for some information on Jessica, I came upon a link that was basically a gossip column. I really wasn't searching for it, but just about everything negative a person could say about Jessica was stated. And a few people really stuck up for her and stated her good qualities. But then I got to thinking who's "hustling" who? In any case wouldn't it be funny if they became an "item". I personally like the girl. You would be surprized many people don't like her. But in any case, it's nice that Tony is helping her and I personally wouldn't be surprized if they became an item. Much in the same way that Erin and Everham have.

Everham goes around the country tyring to help Erin run some WoO races, but I hope he helps Jr. on his way to a championship.

In any case with so few woman racing in Sprint Car racing I can think of nothing so charming as a girl who gets in a sprint car and wins.

Sincerely,

Larry Otani

Larry, the racing circles I travel in have had Jessica and Tony as a couple/item for months.

A couple or not I just hope people will respect there privacy and not be up there A%$ every time they go some place. That would have to get old real fast.

I get a little defensive when people discuss Ms. Jess in any light other than a great young racer. She is a close "member" of this Family. Jill and I interviewed her in 2003 when I was hosting the Television Show "No Speed Limit". She was so shy, you could barely get a word from her. We have a great picture of Jess, Coleman and Timmy Mac carrying the NY State Flag at the Chili Bowl. Obviously a keeper.

When Tim Clausen discussed how Brad Sweet and Justin Grant rose from next to nothing; I have seen Jess not sleep for days putting a car together herself just to run a local show on equipment that was less than steller. She has always made the most out of nearly nothing. I have seen her show up with one set of tires and shocks hoping to just keep it together and then go out and win. She and I raced for 2 years together here in NY and she is a fierce competitor. There have been plenty of nights where she has put Tony in the Mirror at numerous tracks here in NY. That will always get Tony's attention.

Jess is no doubt a "looker" by many standards but when she is in the car, she flat our races hard every lap and garnered attention due to her abilities. Her looks are certainly a plus. She is a better driver than a lot of these Ladies that are now in this sport due to reasons unknown and is now getting a chance to shine. Her current Crew Chief Mike Woodring has tutored Coleman many times and crewed for us in Florida during the 07 Winternationals. Mike will keep her new, quality equipment in top shape and give her a car night in and out.

If you have not had a chance to see Jess run before; make it a point. She will run up front most of the time and then get out of the Car and put on a Dress that will make all men take notice... She is a fine young lady and we think the world of her. Some of the greatest, closest relationships have been established from Racing. I think this is one of those as well. Thanks.

What's the big deal? So what if it is true. He's 39. She's 24. They're both adults. Go to South Florida sometime, if you think that's a big age difference. Plus, last time I checked, it was still a free country.

Jessica was polite to me at Haubstadt, and isn't afraid to gas it. Posed for 1 photo and shot some racing stuff.

Larry, are you talking about Earnhardt Jr.? A championship? If you are, I think sanctions by the administration are called for.
You've got a better chance of seeing peace in Israel.
I implore you to put the crack pipe DOWN Larry.
