March 29th : Jett pulls off the clean sweep at I-44

This pass weekend at I-44 Riverside Speedway everyone was racing the incoming weather, but it was Nunley getting the better of the competition taking not one but two main event wins.

First up was the A-Class division where Jett would roll off fifth, take the lead, and never look back. Much like in the A-Class, Jett would again start fifth and go on to win in the Non-Wing division as the rain started to fall. After capturing three wins in his last four starts, Jett and his team have a ton of confidence and momentum heading into the Spring Fling!

NEXT UP

Yes, you read that right! Jett will be making his first trip down to the famed Millbridge Speedway to pilot a Driven Performance Midwest chassis owned by Kurt Butcher and his KJM2426 team in the 2024 TOPGUN Invitational. Huge thanks to Kurt and the KJM2426 team for making this deal possible!

What a weekend! Jett and the team were able to win their heat on Friday which put them starting 6th in the feature. Jett put a great race together and brought it home fourth. This locked the team in the feature for Saturday.

On Saturday, Jett rolled off fourth and ended the night in fifth. The team is extremely proud of the effort and feel like they stacked up really well against the 47 cars that entered into the event.

"I am really stoked with the speed of our cars lately. I feel like I have been making better decision on the track and we are starting to put complete nights together and truly show what we are capable of!" said Jett.

The next race is TBD but we will let everyone know as soon as we have something nailed down.

The race of the night was in the non-wing feature. Jett started on the outside pole and went on to battle for the lead for a number of laps before ultimately setting into second for the time being. After a number of laps, the leaders reached lap traffic and Jett made the decision to run the bottom which in hindsight was the wrong call. Third place, Chris Cochran, was able to rail the top and slip past us. Chris is a very talented racer with many years of experience. Jett and the team are beginning to show great speed and starting to put complete nights together which is the key to winning races in this division.

Next up is Port City Raceway next Friday in the Non-Wing Outlaw. Hope to see some of you there!

"Really looking forward to getting this new WR1 Sim Chassis home and get started making laps. I would like to thank Chad Wheeler and WR1 Sim Chassis for this sick sim that I have always dreamed of getting!"

This past weekend Jett and his team made the trip to I-44 Riverside Speedway in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for the second week in a row. He entered the night in both Non-Wing and A-Class Wing.

In the Non-Wing class, Jett started the heat race in 6th and finished 5th on a sloppy track. In the feature, Jett rolled off 9th and made his way 3rd by the end of the race. He is steadily learning this new class and beginning to like it a lot.

In the A-Class Wing heat race, Jett started 2nd and went on to win it. In the feature, he rolled off 4th and ended up 2nd.

In the Winged A-Class heat race, Jett was able to start 7th and charge to 2nd. In the Non-Winged A-Class, Jett started 2nd, fell to 5th, came back to 2nd and was passing for the lead when the leaders car stalled which caused a wreck which included Jett.

Non-Wing feature, Jett started deep in the field (13th) and drove up to third by the end of the race turning some of the fastest laps of anyone. In the Winged feature, Jett started third, took the lead early, led 10 laps before getting passed and settling for second.

Great night of learning and Jett is getting more and more comfortable in the faster car each time out.

Sooner 600 Week is officially in the books and Jett sure showed up and showed out. The youngster clinched the 2023 Sooner 600 Week Championship in dominating fashion. In the four race mini series, Jett was able to capture 3 wins and a second which brings his total win count with the NOW600 Series to a staggering 24 making him the all-time winningest NOW600 Restricted driver (overtaking Ryan Timms). Next up is the High Bank Hustle next weekend at Southern Illinois Raceway!

The team made a last minute decision to make the trip to I-44 Speedway this past weekend and Jett definitely capitalized. He would start 2nd in the heat and would go on to win it. This would put him starting 5th in the feature and he would go on to pick up win number 8 on the year!

Jett also ran A-Class where he started 4th and finished 3rd in his heat. In the feature, he started 5th and brought the car home in 5th. Not a bad outing by any means as Jett continues to learn the ins and outs of the A-Class.

After this past weekends win at Port City, Jett Nunley now shares the honors of being the winningest NOW600 Restrictor driver with fellow Oklahoma hotshoe, Ryan Timms. This is a remarkable accomplishment and one that Jett Nunley Racing is super proud of, but Jett is far from done. His goal is to race hard this season and hopefully break his tie and become the winningest NOW600 Restrictor driver of all-time.

NEXT UP : I-44 Riverside Speedway (May 20th, 2023)

As Jett continues to progress, the team thought this weekend would be a good time for Jett to run some A-Class and Non Wing races. In A-Class, Jett would charge from 8th to win the B-Main, and would work his way from 16th to 8th in the A-Main. In the Non-Wing, Jett would finish 4th in his heat race and transfer straight to the main where he would start 16th and finish 12th. All in all a great night for learning and the team will be back in action this coming weekend at Port City again for the NOW600 Series event.

After struggling to find speed last week at Port City, the team went to work in the shop and combed through the car from top to bottom in search for answers. A few things were found, fixed, and then it was back to business as usual this week at I-44 Riverside Speedway with the NOW600 Series. Over the course of the weekend Jett made four starts and collected finishes of 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th with the national touring series. Next up is Port City Raceway on May 5th-6th and this will again be with the NOW600 Series.

Started the day off with a flip and ended it in victory lane. After a flip in his heat race, Jett was forced to race his way into the Outlaw Nationals through a B-Main. After transferring in, Jett charged from his 19th starting spot to the lead with a few laps to go and would go on to win. The drive to the front has even caught the eye of Speed Sport as Jett was featured in their Fight for the Flag segment!

Back where he belongs! Special thanks to all of our amazing supporters. We could not do it without you guys!

This race was one that Jett will most likely never forget. Jett would leave the fans in the stands on their feet with his heroic last lap pass on leader, Ryder McCutcheon. Young Nunley was greeted in Victory Lane by open wheel standout Keith Kunz and a $3,000 check. Congratulations on this remarkable accomplishment Jett!
