Jason Small (born June 7, 1979) is an American formerstock car racing driver.[1]
Small made his only careerNASCAR Cup Series (then called the Winston Cup Series) start in 2002 atMichigan forPrice Motorsports. He started 41st and ended up finishing there, after his brakes failed early.
Small made hisNASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut in 2000, running atMesa Marin. That race he started 20th in the truck owned byWalker Evans, but struggled to a 28th-place finish. He then switched toGreen Light Racing, where he competed one race for the team atO'Reilly Raceway Park with a 25th place result.
Small started three races then forSonntag Racing in 2001. His best run for the team came in his debut with them, where he started nineteenth and finished 25th atHomestead-Miami. Small then moved onto a family owned team for two late races in the year. He earned his then best career run atPhoenix, when he came home 19th.
Small reunited with Green Light Racing in 2002 and his runs with the team earned him 21st in the points as he competed in all the races. Immediately, Small started out with a ninth place in the season opener atDaytona.[1] Small, though, would only earn one more top-ten on the year: a tenth atLas Vegas. Small's meager 22nd in points could largely be blamed to inconsistency. Small did not finish seven races. At one point, he did not even finish six consecutive races. Such inconsistency led to Small's release at the end of the season.
Small did not go away, however, and once again he restarted his family team for three 2003 races. After a 21st place season debut, Small earned his third career top-ten: a tenth atCalifornia. A 23rd place finish at Phoenix would be his last start of the year.
Small was called upon in mid-2004 to drive the No. 13ThorSport Racing Chevy in place ofTina Gordon. Small did his fill-in role decently, earning a best finish of 21st atDarlington. However, the ride did not convert into any more races and Small has not raced in NASCAR since.
