The first driver I am writing about is none other than my old man, Duane Zabel. Duane started his racing career in the summer of 1994 in the Street stock division and picked up 2 wins. The following year he moved up into a Wissota Super Stock and raced them until 2003. He had the most success of his career in the super stock, winning the South Dakota Governors Cup and numerous other feature wins. Duane is currently 3rd on the all time super stock wins list for Brown County Speedway picking up 22 wins in 8 seasons at the track. In 2004 he moved up to the Wissota modified class where he stayed until his retirement in 2017. He had early success in the modified picking up a 4th place finish in the Wissota Western 100 as a rookie and had a few feature wins up to 2005 when he hit a 11 year win drought and ended it by picking up arguably the biggest win of his career, the inaugural Bullet Sportswear Double Down Nationals in 2016. He now is retired and is the team owner/crew chief of Zabel Bros Motorsports.
