Jenny officially began her racing
career at the age of 7 in quarter midgets, where she competed
regularly until the age of 16. Along the way, she won two
national championships, 16 regional titles, more than 100
feature races, and set more than 50 track records, many of which
still stand today.
At the age of 16, Jenny began racing
in the highly competitive NASCAR Weekly Racing Series Late Model
division. In 1999, Jenny started competing at I-44 Speedway, now
renamed Midway Speedway, a beautiful 3/8 mile track located in
Lebanon, Missouri. It was not until July of 2000, that she
began racing weekly on the high banks of I-70 Speedway's 1/2
mile track in Odessa, Missouri. Her racing success has
continued, where in just two seasons she worked her way up to
being a consistent top-five contender.
In 2001, Jenny completed her
first full season at I-70 Speedway finishing a strong 3rd in
the season points championship. She was also fast qualifier at 5
events throughout the year.
 The
2002 season only enabled Jenny to add even more successes to her
list of racing accomplishments. She has now become not only the
first female to set the pole at I-70 Speedway and the fastest
female qualifier, but also the first, and so far the only,
female to win a feature race in the premier division in the 33
year history of I-70 Speedway.
2003 proved to be a high point in
Jenny's racing career. She was a strong competitor throughout
most of the season for the I-70 Speedway Season Points
Championship. Unfortunately, she fell a little short of the
win, but was able to bring home a solid second place finish.
Along the way, she was able to add five more feature wins to her
record including: 3 of the 4 extended lap special features and
the premier event at I-70, the 2003 World Cup 500.
Jenny's 2004 season began on the
same note as 2003 with back to back wins to start the season.
Ultimately, the 2004 season was cut short for the #17 team when
extensive damage caused later in the season was unable to be
repaired on the current sponsorship budget, but with 3 more
feature wins to her name she'd be back for more in 2005.
Jenny is not just a top racecar
driver, but also a straight A honor student who graduated from
Topeka High School in 2001 amongst the top 5% of all Kansas
students. She later received a degree in Business with an
emphasis in Marketing from the University of Kansas when she
graduated with Honors in May of 2005.
