OTHER INFORMATION

BIOGRAPHY
Hello, I am Zach Hensley. 21 years young, in a wheelchair for life. I have found a career path for me which is driving a race car. To be more specific I drive a 2010 Victory Chassis IMCA Modified. I start racing in March and end the middle of November. Most ask how I manage to reach the pedals, I use hand-controls. Yes I use nothing but my hands to steer, brake and throttle. Sure its hard but how would anyone know if they never tried it. More about me, I was born with Femoral Hypoplasia which causes no use of my legs. I have had tough times and times where I have wanted to give up. I realized if I had given up I wouldn't be proving everyone wrong who says anyone with a disability can not do what "normal" people do. I will continue to prove what I can do as a person and for people just like me who once wanted to give up.
