Jason got his first taste of racing competition as a teenager when he and his brother Eddie bought 2 go-karts and began racing them at a dirt track close to his home. Jason's father (John) and mother (Dale) will never forget the first time they ventured out to the go-kart track after Jason and Eddie had been racing for many weeks. John and Dale were expecting to see Jason and Eddie just out having a good time and racing like kids do at the beach pavilion go-kart tracks, but what they discovered was nothing close to that. Jason was in serious competition with not kids but adults, and was running at speeds of up to 75 mph. John and Dale were both in shock. Dale was very concerned for their safety and John was excited and ready to become involved. Both actually became involved at that point and after Jason had experienced numerous go-kart wins at that track, 311 Speedway and various other tracks, they purchased a super stock car for Jason and Eddie to race at Ace Speedway in Altamaha, NC. The first practice at Ace revealed that Jason was going to be the driver, Eddie was going to be a mechanic and tire specialist, John would be the crew chief, and Dale would be the timer/record keeper. Jason raced one year at Ace in the Super Stock Division and had a very successful one in finishing 2nd in the division, receiving the Most Wins Award with 6, and receiving the Rookie of the Year Award. This successful year led to Jason moving up to the NASCAR Late Model Stock Car (LMSC) division. This step up was a very expensive one though and a struggle at times to financially be able to race. However, Jason was able to obtain the Rookie of The Year Award in his first year in this division and has had many accomplishments there-after, including 3 NASCAR LMSC Track Championships, 1 UARA Championship, and qualifying 2nd and finishing 4th in his first and only race at Daytona International Speedway in the IPOWER Dash Series. Jason has raced in several USAR Pro Cup races in which he raced like a veteran of the series. Jason has won the most prestigious LMSC race in the country at Martinsville Speedway called the Bailey's 300. In addition, Jason has been successful in his only two starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with an average start of 28th and an average finish of 18th in a rented regular series driver's back-up truck. Jason has the experience to race in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Nationwide Series and even the Sprint Cup Series. The only thing he needs is the money.
