“I am incredibly proud of our performance at this round, finishing Rd 8 in 5th place and being the highest placing domestic driver. Battling it out with the newly crowned four-time champion James Deane was an unforgettable experience, and our massive Halftime Raffle truly brought our drift fans community together and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the season. We set an all-time record high for our team merch sales, nearly clearing out most of our inventory! This season, everything worked seamlessly and I really want to thank my team for their tireless efforts. After a couple seasons of motor struggles, we developed strong motor package this year which lasted the entire season. Ending the season in 12th overall marks a significant leap from 2023, showcasing the dedication and passion of our entire team and partners.

A heartfelt thank you to all our partners —your continued support has been invaluable to our success. I also want to give a huge shoutout to my manager Christina for winning “Team Manager of the Year” at the annual FD Awards Banquet. With this well-deserved recognition, beating out all of the top dogs, we’re eager to reach the top in 2025. Exciting times are ahead for Jeff Jones Racing!”
