Jacobs Racing; Successful at the World Series

2014 JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Season up next for Canadian Brothers

March 1, 2014

London, Ontario (March 1, 2014) – The two pro late model teams fielded by Jacobs

Racing ran a full week of competition this past week at Florida’s New Smyrna Speedway,

racing seven times in nine nights at the 48th annual World Series of Asphalt Stock Car

Racing.  With over 40 of the best pro late model teams entered in the event, Marc and

Jaxson had their work cut out for them. In a grueling test of speed and grit.

Marc’s week started off slow, with three consecutive mid-pack finishes in his #79 Five

Star Ultra Glass Bodies entry.  Competing in their third World Series, Marc and long time

crew chief Craig Gibson were not to be held back, and after receiving advice from Florida

super late model driver Anthony Sergi, the 79 car went on a roll, finishing the week with

four consecutive top-ten finishes and a career high of seventh in points out of over 40 pro

late model teams.  Said Marc; “It’s very gratifying to be able to come down here and

compete with the best.  This team has worked extremely hard over the off-season on this

new car and to be able to see positive results coming from that effort is just great.  Our

program made great progress this week and hopefully it transfers to the upcoming

season.”

Jaxson Jacobs, Marc’s younger brother and the 2013 JEGS/CRA All Stars Tour’s “Most

Popular Driver”, started his week with speed, capturing multiple top 10 finishes and

proving his ability to race side by side with some of the top pro late model competition in

North America.  Jaxson, working with crew chief Ken Jacobs and long time Delaware

Speedway late model racer Adam Quarrie, turned heads all week and at the end of the

seven nights, came out as the top Canadian team in the pro late model division, finishing

an impressive sixth in overall points, edging out fellow Canadian and older brother Marc

by a mere 5 points.  “It’s an honour being the Top Canadian in this division here at the

World Series.  The competition is really stout and to be able to race the way we did this

week really proves we belong here and shows that we’ll be contenders for years to come.”
