Two months into his rookie World of Outlaws Late Model Series campaign, Logan Zarin says he is ‘finally starting to hit on something’ and feels like he belongs. The western Pennsylvania native began the season relying on Last Chance Showdowns and provisionals through the first nine races, posting a 20.2 average finish and recording three DNQs.

A 14th-place run at Smoky Mountain Speedway in mid-March sparked a change: since that race Zarin has started every feature, transferred out of heat races at East Alabama and at Senoia, improved his season average to 16.0 and recorded a career-best 13th-place finish at Senoia Raceway later that month.

Zarin credits guidance from shock consultant Vinny Guliani, studying race footage and an increased focus on qualifying with helping the team dial in the car, saying better qualifying has set the team up for stronger nights. His immediate goal is to make features and run competitively as he gains more experience on the WoO tour. He is scheduled to race at Farmer City Raceway on April 10–11 — his first time on a Midwest quarter-mile black-dirt bullring — and then plans a five-night Northeast swing: May 13 at Georgetown, May 14 at Selinsgrove, May 15–16 at Marion Center and May 17 at Bedford.
