Jimmy Glenn

#7g

Jimmy Glenn drives the #7g 600cc Yamaha Micro Sprint Class car.  His home track is Linda's Speedway but he can also be found racing at Lanco Speedway and Hill Valley Speedway.  He lives in Branchburg, NJ.

Team members helping Jimmy are:  Dad, Mom, Joey, Rob P and Rob L.  Jim Glenn Sr. is the car owner.

Jimmy started racing in 2003 in the 600cc Micro Sprint Class at Linda's Speedway because his Dad got him into Quarter Midgets and Jimmy just fell in love with the sport.  He started racing at age 1!  His first win was in 2004 in the 600cc Micro Sprint Class at Linda's Speedway.  Career highlights include 8 Championships in Quarter Midgets, 6 wins in 600cc Micro Sprints, set Fast Time at every track, won at Greenwood Valley with all the top runners in the East Coast.

The thrill of racing for Jimmy is being able to wrench on the car and know it's right and always finish well.  His most exciting racing moment was experiencing his first flip at Silver Springs.  He went from 32nd to 9th in 8 laps and someone hit his right front tire and he went end over end.  He's most proud of being able to try things on his car and see faults and success.  "You do not learn anything by running the same!".

Jimmy's racing hero is Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Of racing, Jimmy says, "It's a good and competitive sport and it teaches you to think!".
