BAKERSFIELD, CA (February 21, 2012)- Friendships are formed by chance meetings and so is the case with Dave Reed and Jason Jefferson. Both men have long spotted in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series and both have a passion for racing.
"You have a unique opportunity to meet people in the spotter's stand," said Jefferson. "Dave and I always seemed to have the opportunity to talk as our car numbers had us lined next to each other at most events. We have kind of built up a friendship the past couple of seasons."
That friendship has landed Jefferson in the driver's seat of a Dave Reed owned SRL Southwest Series car for a few races this season. "I was blown away when Dave called and asked if I wanted to drive his car," Jefferson added. "I have not really raced much the past few years and had resigned myself to working on the outside of the car rather than driving."
Jefferson comes from a racing family out of Yakima, WA where his father (George) and his uncle (Harry) are legends in Northwest racing lore. His brother Jeff is a three-time NASCAR NW Tour champion. The younger Jefferson followed in the family tradition carving out his own niche while creating a history of his own.
Jason Jefferson has won races in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series, the now defunct NASCAR NW Tour, and has posted nearly 100 Late Model wins in the region where he was the class of the field at both Yakima Speedway and the now shuttered Tri-Cities Raceway, both tracks are located in Washington state.
Plans call for Jefferson to pilot the #15 Approved Memory Ford in at least three SRL events to start the season while still working full-time for Gene Price Motorsports. Based on sponsorship development, more races could be added to the schedule. "I am thankful that Gene has allowed me to drive for Dave while working for the team at Gene Price Motorsports," Jefferson stated.
The SRL Southwest Tour is in its 11th year providing a professional racing series serving the southwest region of the country. "I am really excited to race in the SRL," Jefferson said. "I love these types of cars and the opportunity to compete against some of the best drivers around. Plus, racing for Dave Reed is going to be a lot of fun."
Dave Reed Racing has corporate partnerships with K&N Filters, Approved Memory, Century Boatland, Eibach Springs, Fluidyne, Freight Train Peters Racing Engines, Gene Price Motorsports, HeadBlade, JDA, Power Balance, Ron's Rear Ends, RPMTV, Ringers Gloves, Whipz.
