NASCAR career

Rizzo made his debut in 1996, running his own Rizzo Racing Ford at Watkins Glen International. He had an outstanding run there, started 6th and finishing 7th. Rizzo made three more races that year, including an 11th place at Infineon Raceway. However, he did not finish the other two races.

Rizzo made a dozen starts in 1997. Once again, he got his best finish of the year in his first start, a 6th-place run at Tucson. However, Rizzo struggled in his other starts, as he only posted three top-20 finishes afterwards.

Rizzo would only make two starts in 1998, as Scot Walters purchased Rizzo's ride. Rizzo, however, ended up with the #98 Liberty Racing Ford team. Rizzo struggled in his first race at Homestead-Miami, finishing 30th after a crash. However, in the next race at Watkins Glen, Rizzo managed another top-10 finish. He started and finished 8th in that event.

Rizzo made his final start in 1999, running one race at Portland International Raceway. He struggled, ending up 21st in that event. He has not raced in NASCAR since.

Marriage

On July 24, 2004, he married actress Natalia Cigliuti; they have one child together but have since divorced.

gollark: Yes, that's stupid of it.

gollark: You should probably just constantly use UTC literally all the time, but sometimes you have annoying stuff like "users".

gollark: Rust's chrono does that.

gollark: Well, there's a "naive" one without an attached timezøne.
