Driven by 18-year-old Zack Knowlden. His family-owned race team is Filthy North Racing Motorsports.

FNR Motorsports was founded in 2011 when at age 9, Zack Knowlden began his racing career in Open Wheel Microds. A successful few seasons in Microds – including winning the NYSMA State Championship, led to Four Cylinder Mini Stocks, and in 2016 a move to the Sportsman division. In 2017, Zack finished his second season in Sportsman, he was 3^rd in track points, 111^th in National points, and 3^rd in New York State points. In 2018, the team made the jump to competing in the Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Series, which runs at tracks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ontario. While it was a learning year in this type of car, Zack more than held his own and the team is looking forward to a competitive 2019 season on the ROC tour.
