Racing career

Van Zant's interest in racing began when he was frequently around a family friend's USAC sprint car racing team as a child. His career would not being however until 1986, where he formed a street stock team, and won track championships between 1987 and 1988. Other members of the crew also drove in street stock competition in car that were built by Van Zant, and the team accomplished five track championships.[1] Van Zant moved to late models in 1989, and he ran on and off races for Haupt up until 1997.[1]

In 1998, Van Zant made his

Memphis Motorsports Park
in 2001.

In 2002, Van Zant and Haupt planned on running all short-track events, and potentially up to four superspeedway races,[1] although they only ran the short-track events, getting a best finish of fourth in his first start of the year at Salem. He then earned two top-five finishes the following year in 2003, a fourth place at Winchester Speedway and a fifth at Salem, and finished twentieth in points despite running only nine races that year.

In 2004, Van Zant attempted to make his

Indianapolis Raceway Park and Kil-Kare.[2] Van Zant then attempted only three ARCA races in 2006, finishing tenth at Winchester, failing to qualify at Toledo Speedway, and finishing thirteenth at Berlin Raceway. The Berlin event is his most recent event as a driver, as he has not competed in the series since then.[3]

Van Zant graduated from Trotwood-Madison High School in 1975, and is the father of three children.[1]
