Jason started racing in 1986 in the Rookie Class at Jim's Go Kart Track because his uncle did it.  His first win was in 1987 in the Rookie Class at Jim's Go Kart Track.  Career highlights include winning 7 Track Championships at Burk Creek in Karts, won Super Stock State Championship in '98 in Karts, won Controlled Stock National Championship in '98 in Karts, won several races across the country in cars and Karts.

The thrill of racing for Jason is the competitiveness, the speed and just being around the people.  His most exciting racing moment was picking up his first Crate win in '06.  He's most proud of being known as a hard but clean driver.

Jason's racing hero is Darrell Waltrip.

Of racing, Jason says, "It is not a redneck sport!".
