Jordan started racing in 1999 in the Go Kart Purple Plate Class at Buck Creek because a friend of his was racing and Jordan thought it would be fun.  His first win was in that same year.  Career highlights include 1999 Buck Creek State Champion in Go Karts, Florida State Champion in '02 in Blue Plate Go Karts, 2nd in the Nation in Go Karts for Blue Plate in '03.

The thrill of racing for Jordan is going over 100 mph and having fellow racers all around him in a race to the Checkered Flag.  His most exciting racing moment was winning his first ever race in Go Karts at Buck Creek in Chesnee, SC.  He's most proud of his leather jacket he got from winning his first State Championship and the Go Kart he won it in.

Jordan's racing hero is Mike Duvall.

Of racing, Jordan says, "It is a fun, competitive sport that you have to work for in order to achieve victory!".  Jordan also pays tribute to his Father in saying, "Remember my real Dad, Timmy Plumley, who passed away on September 11, 2005.  I miss him and loved him so much!".
