Hey, everyone! We are gearing up for a busy month after a fairly quiet August, but I cannot wait for it to start! We hope for and expect big things!

It has been a few weeks since we raced, and it is nice to have one last break before the run for the Championship in September, but I really wish we had more races scheduled, especially since we have been running so strong. Even though I am not racing a NASCAR K&N Pro Series East car this month, I’m still trying to learn and improve as a driver.

Grimes, IA (June 22, 2011) - “Being that Langley is the home track to me, and by far one of the tuffest places to get around, it’s been a VERY long time since I’ve seen someone come through the field like you did tonight. National Champions and other developmental drivers have come here and tested for days to only find themselves in the back...you flat drove your ass off buddy, without the tire issue early on or 5 more laps you were p1 no questions asked. You have earned a fan from your performance tonight, good luck the rest of the season and keep on diggin! Look forward to being at the track with you soon!” - Jeremy Michael Jordan

Hi, everyone! Things have been pretty hectic here, so sorry it has been a while since I have written. As you probably know, we won the first NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race of the season. We sat on the pole and led every lap. That was awesome! I felt a lot of pressure heading into the season, especially because of what Ryan Truex had accomplished in the car so to perform up to those standards was such an accomplishment! I know it was only one race, but I think we can carry the momentum as we head into one of my best tracks, South Boston.

Hi, everyone! Things have been progressing very well for me in NC. I am all settled after the move and am enjoying living on my own. I have set a nice routine by working in the mornings at the Michael Waltrip Racing shop and then working with the team’s trainer in the afternoon to help increase my endurance. I have really been getting to know and bond with a lot of the MWR crewmembers, and I feel like we have great chemistry heading into the start of the season.
