This is pretty cool to make the top 25 list in Georgia for the last 25 years. Jake is getting excited for the 2026 racing season not real sure when the start day will be for him he still needs to build up more strength and more doctor appointments. He’s thinking maybe later April first of May. Thanks to everyone that stood behind Jake the last few months. He’s improving every day!
