 Jason got his first taste of racing at the age of 10 at Adams Kart Track, a local kart track in Southern California. It was soon there after that Jason knew he was going to chase his dream, of becoming a professional race car driver. Since 1994, Jason has devoted all of his time and effort to karting in hope that it would lead to an opportunity in a race car. Jason’s reputation as an intense, intelligent, and talented driver has allowed him to be very successful in building one of the best karting resumes in the country. His success in karts as well as his determination to be successful has opened the door for Jason to climb the racing “ladder”. Jason’s first step on the ”ladder” was the Cooper Tires Zetec Championship, which Jason competed in during the 2004 season. The Zetec series features full winged cars with Ford 2.0 liter 140hp engines. Jason’s 2004 was a successful one, he was able to earn 8 podium finishes along with one win at the series opener in Sebring, Fl. Caping off the successful season saw Jason walk away with the 2004 Greg Moore Rookie of the year award. This success has definitely caught the eye of many of the sport's insiders. Jason also competed in the Grand-Am Cup ST class, driving a Lexus IS 300 alongside sports car veteran Andy Lally for Team Lexus. This is the first racing experience Jason has had driving a sedan, and just like everything else Jason has driven, he has come to grips with the car very quickly. In his first two starts thus far, he has not finished outside the top 5, and recorded a podium finish in his very first race with the team. In 2006 Jason changed the direction of his career from Opening wheel racing to Stock cars. Jason ran his first season in a stock car at Irwindale in a late model. After the first race Jason was hooked and knew that was the direction he wanted to go. After one season in a Late Model at Irwindale Jason was given the opportunity to move up into the Nascar Grand National West series with Sunrise Ford Racing and Owner Bob Bruncati. Ironically the same person Jason bought his first go kart from at the age of 10. In 2007 Jason’s first year in the West Series, Jason was able to come to grips with the car and series scoring a top 5 in his first start and by seasons end Jason would accumulate eight top 5’s, 1 pole, 2 wins and 3rd in the championship. In 2008 Jason showed more improvement with the addition of a new crew chief, Jason was able to accumulate seven top 5’s, 5 poles and 4 wins and second in the championship. In 2009 Jason is looking to make the final jump into the championship and open the door to move up into the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series or NASCAR Nationwide Series. |
