The team raced Grandview Speedways Freedom 76er event which is one of the greatest events in North East Dirt Modified racing which pays $25,000 to the winner. After missing most of the season, Tom won his heat race qualifying him for the Freedom 76er main event. After a long vigorous race, he came home with a 6th place finish which is a magnificent achievement!!! Plans for 2016 are underway and will be announced later in the off-season.

The 2014 racing season is coming to an end. Grandview Speedway has completed there points racing with a rain out in tonight's final points event. Congratulations to Jeff Strunk on his 10th Nascar Whelen 358 Modified Championship.
This season was a roller coaster to say the least. The TNT Motorsports team worked hard to battle the many nights of bad luck and part failures. Tom was able to Qualify for 14 of the 19 points events at Grandview Speedway, bringing home 21st in points along with 4 heat race wins and 1 consolation race win despite the horrendous bad luck. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will be able to get with Tom and provide a season in review/questionnaire driver video for our viewers to see.
Tom will be racing the 37x at Grandview Speedway on September 12th for this years Freedom 76er paying $25,000 to win. Tom is looking to repeat or better his performance from the 2009 Freedom 76er. Flashback for those that do not remember, Tom qualified for the last chance, B main race if you will, the Minute Man 20. Taking the victory in the Minute Man 20, Tom qualified for the big feature event. Starting towards the rear in the 28th spot, Tom kept out of trouble and worked his way up into the top 5 late in the race. The car began to go away on him and he finished in the 6th position. It was quite a memory that I and the than members of the TNT Motorsports team will always remember.

We regret to announce that the Roque Motorsports #22 will not be racing till further notice. This season has not moved the way we wanted to and the decision to end early was a difficult one. Thanks goes out to Linda and Jerry Roque for everything, Dustin, Matt, Artie and Justin, Mark, Tom and his parents, the fans and everyone else involved with the team. For now Tom will be attending the races in his self owned #30. Any questions feel free to ask me on the facebook page. Thank you

This season has been one for the record books, and we are only about half way through. It seems every other weekend was a full moon above Grandview Speedway. Here are some 2013 facts about Tom and the #22 for this season. Tom has 5 DNQ's to date all occurring every other week up until this past weekend. Every week that was not a DNQ minus Feature #2 on the double feature night, Tom has finished in the top 10. So far this season, Tom has posted 4 Top 5's along with 6 top 10's and 5 DNQ's in the 11 events at Grandview Speedway. These past 2 weekends he finished 2nd and 4th. We are in high hopes of keeping this train rolling!

The night started great with Tommy and his father Big Tom both winning their respective heat races in the 358 Modifieds and Sportsman classes. Check the video section for Tom's in car camera from warm ups and his heat race.
Tom started the feature in 8th position while his father started the Sportsman feature on the pole. After a scuffle in turns 1 and 2, Tom was left with a flat left front tire on the Jerry and Linda Roque owned #22. Starting fresh in the back of the pack, Tom kept clean stopping just short of a melee accident involving around 8 cars on the back stretch which resulted in 2 cars landing on their roofs. The night ended fairly well with a 9th place finish.

Rain fell over Grandview Speedway canceling tonights event. Quite honestly, it couldn't have come at a better time for the team. After an up and down start this season, mechanical issues have seemed to plague the #22 every other week. A rear end malfunction left the team packing up early last Saturday. This week off will give the team more time to gather ourselves and hopefully come out of the gate strong next Saturday.

Last nights racing at Grandview Speedway was nothing short of exciting. Tom started 5th in heat #1 and raced his way through all 12 green flag laps to win his 2nd heat of the season.
Starting 6th in the small block modified feature event, Tom raced his way to the front in a hurry. As he led through the halfway point, a win was not too far out of sight. A late race caution bunched the field together with young driver Nate Christman running in 2nd place. Christman and Scheetz battled for the lead in an exciting 2nd half to the feature event. The end result was a 2nd place finish for Tom and a 3rd place finish for Nate Christman.

After an upsetting first week at Grandview Speedway, the team went into this weekends event with hopes of no engine issues. Tom was unhappy with the car after warm ups resulting in some major changes. Starting 3rd in heat #4, Tom quickly jumped to the lead on the first lap and never looked back. Winning the heat race in such fashion (by 1 whole straightaway) put the team in high spirits.
Starting in the top 5 for the first of two 35 lap features, Tom led the majority of the race before lapped traffic shuffled the #22 back to a 4th place finish. Feature two showed that Tom would not back down from a fight. After gaining the lead on lap 4, he lead a few laps before shuffling back to 4th. On a mid race restart, another car drove into the corner low coming into contact with the #22 sending Tom straight into the turn 1-2 wall with blunt force. The car was out of commission resulting in a DNF.

The #22 decided opening night would not be what we anticipated. After beginning the evening with engine issues, no fix could be found resulting in a disappointing DNQ for the first race night of the season. Hopefully the problem can be found and fixed and the car will be top notch for next weekend.

Tom and the #22 will NOT be attending this Saturday's Test and Tune Session at Grandview Speedway. Instead Tom will be running his self owned car at Bridgeport Speedway in the RoC event.

After a thrilling 2012 season, the team has been busy preparing for the 2013 season. Once again for 2013, Tom will be running full time in the Nascar 358 Modified Division at Grandview Speedway in the #22 owned by Linda and Jerry Roque of Roque Motorsports. On top of the full time small block schedule at Grandview Speedway in the #22, Tom will be running various small block/big block modified shows throughout the season at various tracks with his self owned and operated equipment.
Tom Scheetz Jr. (Little Toms Father) will be running in the Sportsman Division this season at Grandview Speedway. Keep checking back for further updates in the near future.

September 16th, 2012 (Freedom 76er)
After a long and wild season at Grandview Speedway, the moment that most have been waiting for since the announcement at last years Freedom 76er event, Grandview Speedways 2012 Freedom 76er event paying $50,000 to the winner has finally come and gone. Eighty Small Block Dirt Modifieds packed the pits in one of the if not the most anticipated event ever at the 1/3 mile clay oval.
The #22 Teo Chassis Modified driven by Tommy Scheetz III/Owned by Linda and Jerry Roque, arrived in the pits around lunch time on Friday the 14th. After a long afternoon preparing for Tech, the car was put back together and ready for racing on Saturday. The team also prepared the #30 car for Tom Jr. Saturday morning for him to run the event as well.
Tommy was set to start 2nd in heat # 7. After battling with the #42 on the opening laps, Tom was able to power around him on the outside, leading all remaining laps and taking the heat win. All heat winners qualified to run the $1500 dollar to win Cash Dash event. Starting near the rear, the track was just not suitable for much passing in the 10 lap Cash Dash race as Tom was unable to come through the field. Tom Jr. had some trouble in his heat race resulting in a DNF.
Considering the intensity of the event, the night went rather smoothly and the call for the feature lineup was made shortly before 11pm. Tommy picked the 19th position in the redraw putting the #22 about mid pack. Holding his own, Tom managed to avoid a couple of spun cars in front of him until around the 20 lap mark where he came into some contact with a spinning car in turn 2. The result was a broken right front shock tower. By the time the shock tower had been re welded, the race had gone green resulting in a disappointing DNF. "The car was getting better every lap, as the race went on we should have had a top 10 car for sure" said Tommy in the pits. The result was a 35th place finish.
