This past Saturday before the Sprint Cup race at Richmond the broadcast featured Darrell Waltrip interviewing Tony Stewart. Tony revealed that he is dating dirt track sprint car and modified racer Jessica Zemken. Rumors had been swirling for almost two years about the couple dating. Stewart went on to tell DW just how happy he is right now. “I can honestly say I’m probably as happy as I ever remember being,…I’ve got a great girlfriend who loves doing what I love doing…”
Zemken was in action this past weekend at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, racing her 410 sprint in the O’Reilly All Star Sprint Circuit of Champions. Zemken would turn heads as she would capture a heat race victory at the famous Pennsylvania speedway. But the night would belong to Steve Buckwalter as he would dominate the event that drew 41 open-wheel sprints. Buckwalter would capture the $5,000 winner’s check and also win the ARDC Midget feature the same night.
Zemken would not have the same luck in the feature as she would finish in 22nd after winning her heat. Fans also reported seeing Stewart at the event on Friday night. Zemken is the child of 28 year dirt modified veteran Ray Zemken. She has grown up around the dirt tracks, attending her first race when she was only two weeks old.
