#9

Jesse Smith drives the #9 Sprint Class car.  His home track is Arlington Raceway.  He lives in Mankato, MN.

Team members helping Jesse are:  Wade, Nate, John, Lips, Ronnie and Jose.  Ron Smith is the car owner.

Jesse started racing in 2005 in the Sprint Class at Arlington Raceway because his brother had a car and his Dad had a motor and no driver.  His first win was that same year.  Career highlights include Go Kart Champion in 1999.

The thrill of racing for Jesse is the speed.  His most exciting racing moment was his first win.  He's most proud that he didn't roll it.

Jesse's racing hero is Steve Kinser.

Of racing, Jesse says, "Better have a rich Dad and a good brother!".
