Zachary Tinkle returns to Fast Track Racing for the full 2025 ARCA Menards Series East season, FTR announced Feb. 28.
Tinkle is back in the No. 11, which he also drove full time in 2023 and 2024.
“I’m really excited to be returning to Fast Track Racing and looking forward to having Chris [Vanscoy] as my crew chief,” Tinkle said in a team release. “He’s been a valuable asset to the team since he joined. It’ll be great working with him and the Fast Track team to improve on what we’ve accomplished the past couple years. I’m honored to be driving the No. 11 car for a third year in a row since it was Andy [Hillenburg, team owner]’s championship number 30 years ago.”
Tinkle is the second full-time driver announced for FTR’s 2025 East campaign, following Takuma Koga, who’ll drive the No. 12.
In 2024, Tinkle finished fourth in points with two top fives and four top 10s.
