Lockport resident Zach Mitchell drove a Honda CRX in high school and because of it is now a racer at the Grundy County Speedway in the Pure Stock Division.

While that statement may be an over simplification, the connection is nonetheless there. Regardless, Mitchell finds himself at the top of the Pure Stock standings and battling for a track championship.

Mitchell is a 28-year old roofer who has been racing out at Grundy for the past three years. Prior to that, he "did a little road racing for fun," but it wasn't until three years ago he actually got in a ride and headed to Grundy.
