Jake Griffin, Q&A Did you ever think you'd be racing in Alaska? “No way! (Laughs) I've seen pictures of the track and how you're looking at mountains outside the track. It's amazing. I can't wait to get there, especially since I know I have a really good car to race up there.” How does racing a Pro Late Model help your Truck Series efforts? “Seat time is seat time and you can never get enough of that. It's kind of like having a well rounded education. The more aspects of your trade you have experience with, the better a driver you will be.” Bobby Reuse, Q&A Thoughts on having Jake Griffin behind the wheel of your car? “Jake's a wheel man, no doubt about it. When the opportunity came up for Jake to run for us, we jumped on it. We know we have a fast car, so with Jake behind the wheel we feel pretty good about Saturday's race.” Jake Griffin Career Highlights At age 14, Jake Griffin became the youngest winner in NASCAR touring series history.
