While nitromethane might be crucial to racing Top Fuel, it’s barely a drop in the bucket compared to the importance of a team’s marketing partnerships. 

Today, super part-timer Top Fuel TJ Zizzo revealed his Rust-Oleum dragster will roll into the 2024 Mission Food Drag Racing Series with continued support from major associate sponsor Button Transportation. 
It’s a relationship that goes back to Zizzo’s Top Alcohol Dragster days when he and company owner Bob Button met at a divisional race at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway many years ago. 
 
“Our relationship with Button Transportation and Bob Button is more than the logo on the race car,” said Zizzo, one of the most popular drivers on the NHRA tour. “I talk with Bob on a regular basis about everything from business to racing to just the world in general. He is an amazing person, and everyone at Zizzo Racing appreciates his support. Our goal with all our marketing partners is to treat them like family and make sure our relationship is beneficial for everyone involved. Button Transportation is a perfect example of that.”

“When I met TJ, I was impressed everything I had seen on TV was just as genuine in person. The whole team at Zizzo Racing, led by Tony (Zizzo), his dad, is just a group of good guys who are very professional,” said Bob Button, owner of Button Transportation. “They only bite off what they can chew. I like that they were Top Alcohol people because I love that class. I watched how the team worked together, and that is one of the things that excites me about Zizzo Racing. We talk often about my car and his car but a lot of the time we are just talking about what is going on in racing and life in general. I am a very relationship-oriented person. In business, people are your customers in the beginning, but if you do a good job, then they become your friends.”
 
Button Transportation will be featured prominently on the Rust-Oleum Top Fuel dragster throughout the 2024 NHRA season. The Zizzo Racing team and driver TJ Zizzo will open their season again at their home track during the Gerber Collision & Glass Route 66 NHRA Nationals in Chicago. The team plans to tackle additional events, including the Norwalk Nationals in Ohio, the historic US Nationals in Indianapolis, the Midwest Nationals in St. Louis, and possibly additional events.
