Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (Nov. 19, 2019) – Jordon Mallett is fresh off a roller coaster of a season as he successfully completed his rookie year on the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.
The Greenbrier, Ark., native picked up five top-five finishes to go along with 10 top-10 results as he ended ninth in the championship standings.
Mallett’s best showing on the tour came in June at Salina Speedway in Salina, Kan., where he charged forward six positions during the feature to finish third.
“It was definitely a learning experience as much as anything,” he said. “We got things rolling there around the middle of the season and our goal was to get to all of the races and finish in the top 10 in points. We achieved that goal and I’m really proud of this team.”
Mallett did earn a win in July at Big Sky Speedway in Billings, Mont., during ASCS Frontier Region action. The victory was his first career ASCS sanctioned triumph and was extremely exciting as he bested fellow national competitor Harli White by mere inches at the checkered flag.
“We really looked at ourselves as an all-out rookie and we entered every race with that attitude,” Mallett said. “We really hadn’t won anything, let alone an ASCS race. So to get that out of the way was a cool deal and really rewarding for everyone involved in our team.”
Other highlights included a top five to open the season during USCS Series competition at Hendry County Motorsports Park in Clewiston, Fla., in January and a first-ever attempt to qualify for the 360 Knoxville Nationals hosted by Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, in August.
While his attempt to make the feature stalled out in the D Main of Saturday night’s finale, Mallett picked up valuable experience against a stout field of cars that will pay dividends in the future.
“I don’t think people really get how hard this deal is and getting up and down the road and being prepared every night,” he said. “When you show up and there are 70-plus cars signed in you know the best of the best is there.
“The finishes may not have been what we wanted always, but we get to say we are running against the best this division has to offer. From starting the season not making shows to getting going at the end of the season and feeling confident about punching our ticket to the A Main every night, we learned a ton and that’s going to make me much better next year.”
