Zizzo Racing's Tony and T.J. Zizzo put the Peak/Herculiner/O'Reilly Top Fuel dragster on display during the 2010 O'Reilly's National Managers Conference at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center Jan. 17. T.J. met O'Reilly team members from around the country and traded racing stories backstage with IRL driver Danica Patrick and NASCAR's Tony Stewart.
"Having a chance to meet Danica and Tony for a few moments backstage was fun," said Zizzo. "There are a lot of differences in how we each get a race car down the track, but in the end, we all just want to compete and drive fast."
The highlight of the evening was when Zizzo met many of the managers in attendance during the autograph portion of the event. "It's a great opportunity to meet these team members," Zizzo said. "We're not just a racing team with a Peak and O'Reilly decal on our car -- we're a customer, too. I think a lot of the managers were surprised to learn that we purchase a lot of items from our local O'Reilly store for not only our race team but our auto-body shop as well."
