Jeremy Tibben, 26, of Stanton, Iowa, drives the #7 FR-1 Modified.  He works as a new accounts representative forAmeritrade.  His family includes wife, Amy and daughter, Kami, 16 months.
                Jeremy started in Jr. High racing radio controlled cars. He caught onto that really quick and did that for a couple of years.  Then in 1998, he began racing go-karts. “I raced go-karts nationally for three years which got my foot in the door for Modifieds.”

Jeremy is now entering his fourth year in Modifieds with season points finishes of 15th, 8th, and 13th at Adams County

Speedway.  Jeremy has a 3rd place finish in the World Leagues Mr. Goodscents Super Series Points and 4th place in the WDRL Hard Charger points.

Jeremy picked the #7 since it was his number in football.  His favorite driver is Bill Elliott.  As for Jeremy’s future plans, he would love to run the USMTS full time someday.  Right now, he is just working to improve season-by-season gaining sponsorships to pursue that goal.  His biggest influence is his father. “My dad, he started everything, he learned it from his dad.”

Jeremy’s career highlight was finishing 3rd at Volusia County Speedway in Florida during Speedweeks in 2002.  His scariest moment came when he destroyed his first Modified.  He rolled three times end-over-end backwards and then barrel-rolled three times landing on the roof.
