In his days of full-time USAC competition, Jason Leffler visited victory lane at O’Reilly Raceway Park seven times between 1998 and 2003, with five National Midget wins and two Silver Crown Series wins to his name.
Leffler made his first NASCAR Busch Series start at O’Reilly Raceway Park in 1999 for Joe Gibbs Racing.
In three (3) career NASCAR Busch Series starts at O’Reilly Raceway Park, Leffler has one pole and two top-fives to his credit. In 2000, Leffler started from the pole and went on to finish fourth. In his last NBS start at the track in 2004, Leffler started fifth and finished third.
In three (3) career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts at ORP, Leffler has a best finish of second in 2002. He started inside the top-10 in all three events.
Leffler is currently 11th in the NASCAR Busch Series point standings, 121 points out of 10th.
LEFFLER ON RACING AT O’REILLY RACEWAY PARK:
“Indy is a really a second home for me so I’m looking forward to the opportunity to see friends and family this weekend and to racing at my all-time favorite track. ORP is a track where I have seen more success in my career than at any other. I’ve been fortunate to visit victory lane there on several occasions in my USAC racing days and while I have come really close to scoring a win in both the Truck and Busch Series in the last few years, I still haven’t brought home the trophy. We’re hoping to change that this weekend. I feel that my experience at this track coupled with the strength of our short-track program this season we should have a really good shot.”
EQUIPMENT:
The No. 38 Great Clips team will compete with chassis # 18 in this weekend’s Kroger 200. This is the same chassis that Leffler competed with two weeks ago in Martinsville where he posted an eighth place finish.
