Doug Foley's Drag Racing School has added multi-time world champion sportsman racer Lee Zane to its staff. With more than 130
victories to his credit, Zane brings an impressive resume to his new job, including two NHRA championships, two divisional titles, and three Driver of the Year awards.
"In my estimation Lee Zane is one of the top sportsman racers competing on the circuit," Foley said. "The majority of our students are interested in racing at the same levels where Lee has excelled -- weekend bracket races, outlaw events, and the sportsman level of NHRA and IHRA competition. Why not learn from the best?"
A New Jersey native, Zane began his driving career in 1995 at the longtime home base of Doug Foley's Drag Racing School, Atco Dragway near Philadelphia. It didn't take long for the chassis builder to find success and he collected more than 100 bracket race titles of the first six years of his career.

It didn't take long for the chassis builder to find success and he collected more than 100 bracket race titles of the first six years of his career.
In 2001, Zane turned his attention to NHRA competition, racing in the cutthroat Stock Eliminator category. From the start, Zane was a solid contender, finishing his first season ranked second in Division 1 and seventh in the nation.
Just three years later Zane was crowned NHRA world champion in a class many consider the toughest in all motorsports. He won a second world title in 2008, while adding Division 1 championships in 2007 and 2008. Widely respected by his peers, Zane also was voted Division 1 Driver of the Year in '04, '07, and '08. He's even won back-to-back titles at the U.S. Nationals in 2003 and 2004.
In his career, Zane has raced Stock, Super Stock, Super Comp, Competition Eliminator, and Pro Stock.
"I've always wanted to offer sportsman competitors a place where they can really work on improving their race program in their own car," Foley said. "With an established and respected veteran like Lee on our staff, we'll be able to reach a vast pool of racers and give them the opportunity to improve their driving skills.
"The growth of my company over the last year has been tremendous and bringing in a guy who is so versatile is key right now. His mechanical ability, attention to detail, and personal demeanor is exactly what we were looking for, and with the addition of school dates at zMAX Dragway in Charlotte and numerous corporate events, having Lee on board will be a huge asset."
