Jason wants to make racing stock cars his career. Jason began racing go-karts at a young age in a baseball uniform and a go-kart purchased from Roses. Throughout his early years, Jason moved up very quickly in the World Karting Association (WKA) while learning the basics of racing. Some of his career stats in the WKA include 2 national championships, 2 state championships, 10 national wins, 11 state wins, 23 poles and 41 top 5’s in only 3 and half years. He has raced at such venues as Daytona, Charlotte, Michigan, South Boston, Martinsville, and many others across the country.

After winning 2 national championships, the pinnacle of any racing division, Jason decided that he needed to go to the next level. In 2000, he moved to stock car racing at the New River Valley Speedway in Radford, VA. Jason began by competing in the Limited Division where he won his first race. He also competed in a limited number of late model stock car races. Jason gained valuable seat time by competing in both divisions in his very first year.

In 2001, Jason competed only in the Late Model Stock Division and had a very successful season while racing in a limited amount of races. His top finish of 5th occurred at the WDBJ 7 live TV race where he gained valuable exposure from the broadcast.

In the 2002 season, Jason finished 7th in series points and won Dodge’s Bonus Award for being the highest finishing Dodge in the Region. The 2003 season was a new venture for Jason Mitcham Racing. The team competed in the UARA-STARS late model touring series as well as competing at the New River Valley Speedway when the schedule allowed. Jason ended the season with a solid 4th place points position and won the UARA Rookie of the Year award. The year also brought Jason his first career late model stock car win. Jason is working to accomplish success at the local level while maintaining his dream of one day racing in NASCAR Nextel Cup.
