Jessica began her racing career at the age of 13 racing Outlaw Dirt Karts in northern
California. Throughout the 2002, 2003 and 2004 seasons, Jessica traveled to races in Nevada,
Oregon, Idaho, Iowa, and Missouri. She has several feature wins and holds the track record for
The ‘Got Milk’ Fall Nationals in Hartville, Missouri and at The Yuba City Fairgrounds in
Yuba City, California.
Jessica made the move to 360 asphalt sprints in 2005 where she competed in the CASA
(California Asphalt Sprintcar Association) series and select USAC (United States Auto Club)
events. She completed her season with six top-five and thirteen top-ten finishes, and finished
fifth of thirty-four
competitors in the point standings.
In October of 2005, Jessica was among 18 drivers selected from over 300 applicants to compete
in The Drive for Diversity combine at South Boston Speedway in Virginia. She impressed the
notables at the combine with her driving and signed with Hispanic car owner, NHRA icon,
Frank Pedregon. Jessica was one of only 8 drivers selected to run a Late Model Stock Car in
the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series for the 2006 season as a Drive for Diversity development
driver.
Early 2006 found Jessica competing on the west coast at Irwindale Speedway. In latter May,
she moved to North Carolina where she raced at Ace Speedway and Hickory Motor Speedway.
The transition from high-powered, lightweight, open-wheeled cars to heavy stock cars
continues to be an exciting challenge and one where Jessica shows great promise and continues
to shine on the track.
NASCAR along with Access Marketing's Drive for Diversity Program announced Jessica as the
ONLY Female of 500 applicants to participate in the 2007 NASCAR Drive for Diversity. She
will drive the All-American Whelen Series for Champion Driver/Owner Bill McAnally Racing
from Northern California, in conjunction with Richard Childress Racing, headquartered in
North Carolina.
