Jeep started racing in 1997 in the Street Stock Class at Merritt Speedway because he had raced Motorcross and wanted to advance to 4 wheels. His first win was that same year. Career highlights include 2003 Eldora Fall National Winner, 2006 3rd Place at World 100, 2007 Eldora Track Championship, and multiple Summer National Wins.

The thrill of racing for Jeep is the competition. His most exciting moment was getting 3rd at the World 100 in 2006, of which he is also most proud.

Jeep's racing hero is Scott Bloomquist.

Of racing, Jeep says, "Racing is exciting and entertaining. It's great for people of all ages!"
