Jake has made two visits to the World's Greatest Dirt Track and scored one Top 5.

In his last outing at Eldora, Jake drove Red Horse Racing's #11 Toyota Tundra. After starting 11th, he brought home a fine 4th place finish. Jake Griffin, Q&A Are you looking forward to getting back into an NGOTS truck? “You bet! It's been way too long. It'll be great getting back into at Eldora, as I had my best finish in the truck series there. We finished 4th for Red Horse Racing.” What does Eldora mean to you? “There's a reason they call it the World's Greatest Dirt Truck. It has everything- history, great action, loyal fans and is a first class facility. Tony Stewart should be proud of his track and his people there.” Mike Affarano, Q&A How satisfying is it to get your team back to the track? “It's been a long time coming and a lot of work to get Jake into the truck and us to the track. Jake is a great dirt track racer, so I think we'll have something for them at Eldora. Hopefully, this is just the first race for the #03 and Jake in 2019.” Jake Griffin Career Highlights At age 14, Jake Griffin became the youngest winner in NASCAR touring series history.
