Jack Jeffers (born 17 July 2006) is an American racing driver from San Antonio, Texas.[1] He currently competes in USF Juniors and the USF2000 Championship with Exclusive Autosport.[2][3]

Career

[edit]

Karting

[edit]

Jeffers began national karting aged 9, where he entered the Florida Winter Tour in the Micro ROK category. He finished 10th in the standings.[4] In 2018, Jeffers increased his commitments on the karting front, entering four national championships with a best result of 5th in the SKUSA Pro Tour, as he moved up to the Mini category.[5] At the end of the year he competed in his first SKUSA SuperNationals.[6] In 2019, he secured his first championship podium, finishing 3rd in the Florida Winter Tour in the Mini ROK category.[7] From 2020 onwards, he competed in select championships in preparation for a move up to cars.[1]

Lower formulae

[edit]

Jeffers made his debut in car racing by joining the Lucas Oil Car Race Series in 2022. He had a brilliant rookie season, finishing on the podium ten times in 18 races, as he eventually took the title with six wins and 504 points to his name.[8][9]

USF Juniors

[edit]

2023

[edit]

After his title-winning campaign in the previous season, Exclusive Autosport announced that they would be signing Jeffers for the 2023 USF Juniors season.[10] He had a strong season with the team, and he managed to finish 3rd in the standings after taking three race wins and nine podiums in 16 races over the course of the season.[11]

2024

[edit]

Despite finishing on the championship podium in his rookie season, Jeffers opted to remain in USF Juniors for a second season in 2024.[12] He began the year in the YACademy Winter Series, where he asserted himself as a title contender for the main season by winning the title after taking four wins from six races.[13][14] However, Jeffers endured a tough season in his main campaign in USF Juniors, with a poor start to the season seeing him finish on the podium just once in the opening two rounds.[15] Although Jeffers had a much stronger end to the season, securing five more podiums from the last eleven races, the combination of inconsistency and the failure to clinch a victory over the course of the season saw him finish 5th in the standings.[16]

USF2000 Championship

[edit]

In 2024, it was announced that Jeffers would be taking part in a part-time USF2000 Championship campaign with Exclusive.[17] He made his debut in St. Petersburg, finishing 8th in his first race.[18]
