Jake was back on tour with the USMTS over the weekend, but started the weekend in USRA action at the Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, WI on Thursday night for the Karl Fenske Memorial. In that event, after running second in his heat race, he was able to cross the finish line 6th in the feature event.
Friday, in USMTS action at Mississippi Thunder, he raced from third to win his heat race and then started on the pole and ran off with the $10,000 feature win in the night's feature event.
Saturday, at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, MN, he raced to a pair of third place finishes, running third in his heat race from sixth and racing forward from 11th up to finish 3rd in the night's feature event.
Sunday, the team made the trek to the Fayette County Speedway in West Union, IA for the final event of the weekend and after winning his heat from third, he ran inside the top ten, battling for fifth for much of the event until he suffered a mechanical issue and retired from the race prior to the checkered flag flying on the night.
