Zac Bogner is only 14-years-old but the kid can drive. The Norco, California teen won the Wicked 330 Race at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada. As a result, the Lucas Oil Soltz Racing Team took the points lead in the West Coast Wicked 330 Series.

Bogner struggled during qualifying. Don Soltz, the car owner and tuner had a great setup on the 3rd and last attempt and Bogner qualified 6th in the 16 car field.
“We missed the set-up on the clutch in our first attempt to qualify and the car did not move,” said Tom Bogner, Zac’s father. “Zac jumped the gun and left before the tree in the second attempt. In the third and final qualifying hit we got down the track with a 4.409 ET.”
In the final round Bogner defeated Angie Castro with a better light and quicker ET. “It was a tough win,” said Tom Bogner. “The 330 is the Top Fuel Class of the Junior Dragsters, and Zac made it work.”
Bogner has raced junior dragsters for three years. “Don Soltz asked my son if he wanted to drive for him,” said Bogner. “Andrew Madrid moved up and Don needed a driver. Zac was happy to have the opportunity and likes the 330 series the best because it’s the fastest.”
K&N makes a custom air filter for the Don Soltz Junior Dragster. “We try to get all the horsepower we can,” said Bogner. “We pull a lot of air into the engine with our K&N air filter. Our Lucas Zero 20 Junior Dragster Oil and K&N air filter both allow for maximum RPMs for consistent performance on the track.”
Bogner’s next race will be at Sacramento Raceway in Sacramento, California.
