Can a 13 year old Onyx Really Drive a Race Car?!

Can a 13 year old Really Drive a Race Car?! Yes, Yes he can. This is Onyx's 7th time behind the wheel on the #73 Midwest Modified. Proving himself to be #SmoothOperator and up for the challenge. Now we're counting on Zach not to mess things up in the #6x modified for the Annual Fallen Lineman Race. Does he have what it takes?? Or will bad luck strike again?!

Seat time is everything. Onyx will gain confidence and passing in no time.

[@brentstallman6167]

Good job Onyx. Focus on logging the laps and gaining seat time. Did really good holding your line and showing respect to the guys coming up on you. You've got a great teacher to follow!

[@nigelrhind6620]

13 year old Onyx finished both his races, thinking he might race better than Dad 😂, keep up Zack😎

[@tomgates316]

Great video. Congrats to Onyx. My first time to that track was in 70's while at the Tech College, had a demolition derby going on. A couple weeks before, had my car hit in a collision. I jumped like he!! as the first cars smacked into each other and that metal crunching noise caught me off guard. Lots of years since being back at that track. Cool to see this video.

[@patricknesburg575]

Sure miss watching you wheel the 73 late model, Zach, but you can sure wheel the 6X too! I've seen you have a couple of these nights in the past, only to come back the next week and park it in victory lane. You have a great crew and know this is "just racing". You guys always put on a good showing. Onyx is a chip off the ol block in the 73 B mod and will be leading the field soon! Thanks for taking us along to the track and best of luck the balance of the summer and fall

[@DDD-us6uu]

Onyx you go kid, good job, looking forward to seeing more from you. 🏁

[@deangelojeremitriusvickers6319]

Being a lineman and a part time farmer this is pretty neat to see you flying the FLO banner. They do great stuff for lineman families when linemen get hurt or even worse. Now you just need the shirt👍🏻

[@billdoms1579]

Oh wow. Seeing a Thoennes wheeling a 52 sure brings back some memories from the 70's of the Folken/Nieland/Gilbertson/Fred Thoennes era at the wheel of the 52. Great vid. Best of luck the rest of the season to both of you.

[@slowp9934]

LOVE the radio/internet commentary overlaid on your video!!! Beautiful touch!

[@nashguy207]

Hate it for Zach. Nothing you could really do in that situation. I think Onyx did a great job for his age and experience. All he needs is more seat time and experience. Proud of both of you guys!!

[@betweentherows]

It's all part of it! I've had much worse results!

[@bradley7723]

Onyx will do just fine. Just takes practice. My first time in a 360 race went up and over the wall.

[@scubajoe3321]

​@@bradley7723damn

[@nickfeilmeier8586]

That is an awesome looking lineman car 🤙🏻. Very cool. Brothers keeper.

[@robertwells6454]

Great content Mr. Farmer. Love seeing a dirt track race. Also love seeing a Family doing it together. Onyx is a great Kid with a great Dad. 🙂👌

[@grumpbrewer5893]

Onyx did a nice smooth race. He will get better!

[@TheShadow590]

nice job onyx kept'r clean! the finish results will come, just takes time! youll get there! Keep it up!

[@bobkinney7913]

Been waiting for this one!! That is some rough driving....... 2 cars don't fit in the same spot, been on the wrong end of that one a few times! Thanks for the video!

[@xavier_j_lamour]

Onyx, My man. You did awesome keep up the great work.

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Awesome onyx great job thank you for sharing

[@arthenry498]

Dang!! Been a few changes since the last time I went to a stock car race!! Back in the mid to late 50's some of the cars were "run whut ya brung" racers. And bumpin and stuff was kinda common. Never went fast enough to need streamlining or wings on the car. Checkered flags sure were hard fought though!! And competition was tough. And I have wonderful memories of those dirt tracks and the sights, sounds, and smells of racin!! Zack, some days it just don't go your way. That last traffic jam looked like here when there is some construction and the pavement ends. Onyx!! Good ride!! I nearly broke my neck here twistin and gyrating around trying to keep in sync with your car. You will certainly get better man, real fast. You are one sharp guy. Thanks Johnsons!! I really enjoyed this ride. You are both winners and I am glad you let me come along.

[@hawks2252]

I wish there was more of them "run what you brung" races available. Everything is so expensive. Jeepers, just to build Zach and the son's engines is big bucks.

[@bigmuz_pilot]

The fist bump did it for me, happy kid, good dad. Awesome!

[@7zracing71]

Woah i am 15 years old racing a usra modified and all i can say is seat time is everything! you got this!

[@samuelrhymer9718]

Your graphics are dope, im a lineman myself and that there means a lot

[@robertwells6454]

Good Job Young Man. 🤟😎 You have got to finish to win and a finish is a good start.

[@daboyjiggy6454]

Onyx did an amazing job, and Zach tried as hard as he could but couldn’t get er’. both of you still did an amazing job!

[@charliemoye4442]

Just stumbled apon this channel! Ive been a huge fan of the farming, cool to see this side of your life!

[@peterkulick1407]

You enjoy racing more than farming,, I said this before but you are a very good person and father with your son,, I enjoy your racing videos, it shows who you really are ,, good people and family,, god bless🙏👍👍👍👍👍, your a good driver, wasn’t your night

[@Fowlds_farms]

Your doing it right dad! Onyx is living the dream doing everything dad showed how to do! Awesome to watch! Keep em coming.

[@ronbelanger4113]

No, daddy is living the dream through his spawn.

[@WayCoolJr27]

He is growing up before our eyes. Let's go Onxy!

[@FreedomRock44]

Wow the Big O is Growing Up.....Amazing how in a years time All of a sudden GROWTH!!!!! Go Onyx......Get SOME!!!!

[@johnschmitt9568]

Hell Ya!! He will be an upcoming driver

[@mattyc195]

Cool video and thanks for sharing.

[@Sbinnala]

How is this camera so much better than the main channel? This is flawless clear 60 fps too.

[@soren8872]

I was at the show when onyx and you were driving at the I 94 speedway in Fergus Falls Minnesota. That was a great show onyx and you did great even though you guys didn’t get first.

[@PrinceAlhorian]

Onyx is smoother than some pro's. Young man has talent, now all he has to do is keep getting track time and button up his skill.

[@BrewCityMike]

Your boy can git it done! Totally confident kid!

[@tylervinson4491]

We need more of this content.!!

[@impalaboy80]

We need more racing videos! I love seeing the racing videos. I raced in the past and I’m sure it’s hard to video and do all the other things there is to do on race day.

[@ryanhorner1675]

Did that guy fall off the edge of the planet there?!? The overlay of the race commentary is pretty cool!

[@ebendeitz283]

Loved the 4 wide!

[@oligorman999]

This is the best channel even make

[@jasongeyer7292]

I love the fallen linemen decal and memorial idea! I work at a local electrical co-op in Ohio!

[@user-dj3xf7ed5p]

Good job onyx, hey Zach you should come racing here in Emo Ontario August 17-19 for the annual rainy river fall fair where the racing is lit!

[@toddherbrand4507]

Freaking awesome video thank you. You both were very enjoyable to watch and dang it just like that I’m into dirt track racing lol thanks again

[@freightdawg6762]

never the less that was a Awesome Video both of you Love the camera position on the cars Great Stuff

[@glenncocoslife]

Aww he's so cute! Great job buddy.

[@craigsmith8217]

Kids can drive because they don't know how bad it hurts.

[@betweentherows]

Gotta risk it to win it!

[@kylejonesUB]

That's the truth.

[@ethanmoore8281]

Yea the wallet.....

[@hoochgiese4735]

I'm just happy to see neck bracing mandatory hans. We had round neck collars that were a joke. My neck kills me bad from all the years dirt track racing and demo derbies! Sure wasn't worth this pain I indure now days.

[@lannytripp4006]

Kids have no fear, they don't understand death, fact. They get good with time and decent equipment, we ran the same engine in our imca modified for 3 seasons, good parts, and a winner.

[@87GrandNational]

Been waiting for this video! Thanks!

[@paulpinney73]

I have been a long time waiting to see you two racing .I love it and I hope to see more

[@shawns57garage]

Great job Onyx 👍👊

[@JohnMason-Hill]

Well I sure had fun watching!!!!

[@jerrellkull5347]

Great job Onyx! And hello to the cute kitty. Y'all take care.

[@ranger5721]

wow good job for us seeing you run for the frist time, way to go onyx

[@1RickBaja]

great job guys...seems like waaaay too many cars racing at once for that size track.

[@nicholas121]

Man I wish I could do this with my kids. Great dad!

[@gregmaddock8969]

Great job, Onyx!!! Get em next time, Zach!!

[@gregscott9170]

It wasn’t a good night for Zach, but Onyx was smooth. Excellent video production.

[@mattthomas3207]

That is a true half mile now!! Onyx did great!! Makes me feel slow

[@anthonyadair76]

Thats still gotta be a proud father moment for ya Zach :)

[@user-qf9jk2wq6e]

He can do it! grew up in Long Prairie and Hillig JD kid ran also

[@Danger-ds7vz]

Awesome! Been waiting for this.

[@DirtyMoneyPullingVideos]

Split screen showing the broadcast is a nice touch to these videos

[@jefferywilson4091]

Great video Zach, I'm a veteran racer that has been watching your channel for a long time. Love it that you have onyx in big car now. I have both of my son's racing this year. Great family fun. Great to see your dad there also.

[@amandakindall3736]

I want to see more of onyx racing he knows what he is doing 🎉❤

[@user-bn8vz5wz7n]

That kids got movie star looks and nerves of iron...wow...super star in the making!!

[@pete9705]

Not too many times the 26 has passed the 52 on that track. I was impressed with how Ryan could keep his left rear in the tacky parts of the track, Bob and Bill would be proud. Onyx will get there, I remember when you moved up from carts. You must have been 14-15 and didn't take you long to be running in the front.

[@hawks2252]

I think it is wonderful that you introduced your kids to racing. Hockey payed for college for me ( i loved it and could play) but I learned more real life skills racing dirt bikes (just wasn't that good -haha) . There are obviously mental skills that are learned in both - dedication, determination, work ethic, etc. But racing is just different in the skills you learn. You know. edit: don't have spurgeon (the MN wild captain) change your tires- haha.

[@charlesmcdade9722]

Good show

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. My compliments to onyx and Zach both for their racing tonight. Good job guys. Onyx is getting on to it and will soon be hot into racing his car. Zach had a lot of big contenders to race with. Hard to make headway. Thanks for everything. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.

[@waterskiingfool]

I liked the picture in picture. Would be nice to know what tracks you guys are going to be at if we wanted to watch live.

[@Cobalt135]

Nobody has any comment on Cat-Dog like reflexes at 1:35 .... almost face planted when the wheel spun and took it all in stride.🤣

[@noah3192]

Nice job Onyx.

[@wyatt9144]

At 13, I was a good driver, but I sure wasn’t driving race cars!

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

5:02 Onyx I don’t know for sure but 🤔 in Sprints you don’t want to have your thumbs hooked up in the spokes of the steering wheel. Guy’s have broken thumbs from doing it in Washington State races. Just something to think about. You will be strong after awhile with experience. You’re doing well Bud! Much love ❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸

[@45x45bw]

You all should come down and race in the mod class at the Topless 100!

[@andrewl7467]

Love the racing

[@cedarman211]

Watching CatDog wreck while steping on the wheel of the Cart --- LOL then walk it off like it didn't happen -- you just gotta love CatDog

[@bobbysmoke6.4dzl94]

Live to race another day boys!!👍🏻🇺🇸

[@FreedomRock44]

I am not a cat person but I love Cat dog!!!!! What a personality!!!!!

[@ChrisS-oo6fl]

Pinkerton won his first race and Rush Series Crate Late Race at 13 with some decent hitters in the field. Onyx already has experience and talent in karts so it’s no problem. It’s more difficult when they throw these young kids out there with that foundation.

[@kellenwilkins21]

We need more racing content on this channel

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great job Onyx.

[@arthurcarle9549]

Onex is doing a fantastic job. You Zach really need to stop throwing stones. Racing is very humble and the quicker you understand its not always someone elses fault the better you will be. even if its somebody else it is still your fault. Cheeres on bro thanks for the post.

[@andrewd5255]

Glad to see him racing can’t wait till I have a car to race up hear in Fergus falls

[@tanker335]

I used to summer at Lake Carlos when I was a kid! Is the Viking still guarding the streets in Alexandria? It's probably 45 years since I've been there.

[@finstadskidloaderservice8056]

Great racing onyx.

[@grayjack5021]

Love that cat dog special race car inspector!

[@ThatGuyFromArizona]

New sub here... I came for the farm technology and stay for the RACING!!!

[@oliverdexkuenzi]

Lucky kid! Cool

[@terryhagen2711]

Nice looking car

[@bertrutledge4546]

It's a tough sport. Sometimes you get a break and sometimes you get screwed. Onyx, good clean race. You got 1 under your belt, kick butt next time.

[@NotFastYet]

I been waiting for this video!! The farming is good but this is the important stuff! Lol

[@stropefarmsllc7630]

Great video

[@BrianMimbs]

Man ole man.. the QUALITY of this video is NUTS!!

[@jeffstoodley6155]

Grate job

[@mrt601]

Thats so cool on so many levels

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

👍👍👍, big step up from go karts

[@austinavery5945]

You should come down to spring valley mn, deer creek speedway.

[@Pcj74049]

Jason Priestly is another actor ( Brandon from 90210) who races. His character also was based in MN. I wonder if these two actors have raced against each other ?

[@domonicneville5053]

Is there going to be a video from fiesta city from July 14? good racing!!

[@kevinkrumma437]

Bad ass car
