Can a 13 year old Really Drive a Race Car?! Yes, Yes he can. This is Onyx's 7th time behind the wheel on the #73 Midwest Modified. Proving himself to be #SmoothOperator and up for the challenge. Now we're counting on Zach not to mess things up in the #6x modified for the Annual Fallen Lineman Race. Does he have what it takes?? Or will bad luck strike again?!

    Seat time is everything. Onyx will gain confidence and passing in no time.
  • Good job Onyx. Focus on logging the laps and gaining seat time. Did really good holding your line and showing respect to the guys coming up on you. You've got a great teacher to follow!
  • 13 year old Onyx finished both his races, thinking he might race better than Dad 😂, keep up Zack😎
  • Its very awesome to see a newer generation pick up dirt racing. If he has the skill and not be afraid of the cars racing past him. then you have a good driver. i remember my first time back in 2001. i was terrified then after my second race i felt safe and happy
  • Sure miss watching you wheel the 73 late model, Zach, but you can sure wheel the 6X too! I've seen you have a couple of these nights in the past, only to come back the next week and park it in victory lane. You have a great crew and know this is "just racing". You guys always put on a good showing. Onyx is a chip off the ol block in the 73 B mod and will be leading the field soon! Thanks for taking us along to the track and best of luck the balance of the summer and fall

    Hate it for Zach. Nothing you could really do in that situation. I think Onyx did a great job for his age and experience. All he needs is more seat time and experience. Proud of both of you guys!!

    Onyx you go kid, good job, looking forward to seeing more from you. 🏁
  • Being a lineman and a part time farmer this is pretty neat to see you flying the FLO banner. They do great stuff for lineman families when linemen get hurt or even worse. Now you just need the shirt👍🏻
  • Onyx is smoother than some pro's. Young man has talent, now all he has to do is keep getting track time and button up his skill.

    Great video. Congrats to Onyx. My first time to that track was in 70's while at the Tech College, had a demolition derby going on. A couple weeks before, had my car hit in a collision. I jumped like he!! as the first cars smacked into each other and that metal crunching noise caught me off guard. Lots of years since being back at that track. Cool to see this video.

    The fist bump did it for me, happy kid, good dad. Awesome!
  • @slowp9934
    LOVE the radio/internet commentary overlaid on your video!!! Beautiful touch!
  • Your graphics are dope, im a lineman myself and that there means a lot
  • @billdoms1579
    Oh wow. Seeing a Thoennes wheeling a 52 sure brings back some memories from the 70's of the Folken/Nieland/Gilbertson/Fred Thoennes era at the wheel of the 52. Great vid. Best of luck the rest of the season to both of you.

    Watching CatDog wreck while steping on the wheel of the Cart --- LOL then walk it off like it didn't happen -- you just gotta love CatDog

    I was at the show when onyx and you were driving at the I 94 speedway in Fergus Falls Minnesota. That was a great show onyx and you did great even though you guys didn’t get first.

    He is growing up before our eyes. Let's go Onxy!
  • @FreedomRock44
