Biography
& Racing Accomplishments
Jason
started driving in 1999 at the local level on a part time basis, when a substitute
driver was needed. This is where the
number "99" came from, his first
year to drive a race car. After a year we got
him his first race car in 2000, however we
knew he needed to see a bigger picture of racing, so
we arranged for him to
become a volunteer member of an IRL pit
crew. He came away from this
experience with his eyes open and hopes high,
the experience showed him what real professional racing was all about. |

He
returned to racing in 2001 and by 2003 had
accomplished just about everything you can at
the local race tracks. He had broken track
records several time, was consistently the fast
qualifier and won most races he competed in.
So in late 2003 we started putting together a
Super Late Model car for the 2004 season.
At
the end of his first year he qualified for only
2 races but was a promoter’s option in 3
events but he only finished one race, that's
when he realized he needed to finish races if he
wanted to continue to drive. From the
2005 season until present; Jason has continued
to compete in Super Late Model and Main Event Series on a
limited or part time basis. He has
continues to gain experience and has become a
very smooth driver. He is respected and
liked by most for his clean driving on the race
track and known to be normal a top finishing car
and always a threat to win any event.
In
2010 - 2013 Jason ran a very limited race schedule,
however he starting building his own racing
shock absorbers and he did crew chief for a
couple different teams part time. He was
very successful at both shock building and as a
crew chief, it showed by the way the cars
performed at the races where he offered his
service. Most weekends Jason is not racing
he is either performing the crew chief function
or on the phone as he receives numerous calls
for help on correcting handling issues.
