Remembering Jason Leffler
June 13, 2013
NASCAR racer Jason Leffler was tragically killed in a Sprint Car accident at the Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey this evening.
“I’m speechless, you’re never prepared for something like this,” said fellow competitor Chris Lafferty. “I always heard good things about Jason and it really is sad. He’ll be missed for sure.”
A native of Long Beach, California, Leffler began his career in the open wheel and dirt track ranks winning three straight United States Auto Club (USAC) Midget titles (1997-1999) and the 1998 Silver Crown championship before moving primarily to NASCAR where he has competed in the top three series’ since 2000.
We hope you will join us in keeping his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
