At the 2nd Annual JK79 in 2023, Michael Trocki led one Lap, Coming from 3rd to Champion of the 2nd Annual JK79 on the final straightaway! The race saw a caution from Lap 27 to the lap 30 break and one at the lap 60 break. Everyone was treated to an amazing race capped off with an absolutely stunning finish between Trocki, Matthew Beeman, and Carson Haulman!

In a race wherein Garrett Pick won the pole, led laps, never ran outside of the top 3 until the closing laps wherein he won the Hard Luck Award. Beeman had to run the B-Main just to make the A-Main! Beeman won the B-Main, worked his way to the front in the A-Main, passed both Trocki and Haulman until he ultimately grabbed the lead on lap 71. Haulman qualified P2, led laps and never ran worse than 3rd the entire race. Trocki qualified 14th and methodically made his way to the front and pounced on the chance at victory coming off of turn 4 with the amazing photo finish between the 3 at the line! .024 separated 1st to 3rd! .009 between 1st and 2nd!

79 laps with a difference of just .009 to determine The Champion!

Each years running of the JK79 has told a different story to become Champion or making the race. Each year, Big Dogs and Big Budget teams are forced to run the Alphabet Soup and some don't make it. Cinderella Stories making the race through qualifying! Cinderella Stories making their way into the A-Main through the Soup! With 2026 having 71 entries, we can't wait to see what stories unfold at the 6th Annual JK79!

Make plans to join us April 2-3 2027 at Cross Roads Motorplex for The 6th Annual Jason Kimball Memorial 79!

Jason's race is more than a race, it's an EVENT.

That years JK79, HDFive / Horvath Design had a plethora of things that didn't go there way causing them to get behind. However, they drove all day and night from Michigan to ensure we had everything we needed. That being said, hit up HDFive for any and all of your teams or business needs! (616)729-8725 Don't get scared that they're located in Michigan. There's definitely reasons why I entrust them for all things JK79 related.

48 hours - 2100 miles - 300 traffic jams and one hell of a story. Our clients are everything to us. Holt we will never miss our friend. Tonight the The Jason Kimball Memorial 79 will go off with an entire event designed & manufactured by the Team at HDFive. Good luck to all the competitors.

Although the 6th Annual Jason Kimball Memorial 79 is not until April 2nd and 3rd 2027, I just want to let you know we are steadily working behind the scenes to make the 6th Annual JK79 the best one yet!

Additions so far for 2027 include:

1. JK79 Lap Leader Extravaganza:
We're bringing back the previously sold out JK79 Lap Leader Extravaganza ($50 per lap to the lap leaders and $3,950 going back to the lap leader sponsors. Get your lap today from the top of The Jason Kimball Memorial 79 page.) This sold out in 2025 and was not done in 2026. It will sell out again for 2027! If you sponsor a lap, you have a chance of Winning Money, a Trophy Check, The Lap Leader Sponsor Sign, The Starting Lineup Sign, and a 6th Annual JK79 Checkered Flag!

2. The Rookie of the Year at the JK79:
$579 to the highest Finisher of the A-Main to someone who's never previously attempted a JK79.

3. The Grit and Glory Award:
$579 to the highest finisher of the 41 drivers who have attempted, but have never made an A-Main at the JK79. Regardless of A, B, C, or D Mains. One of these 41 drivers will win $579, regardless if none of them make the A-Main! (THIS is one of my favorite awards as it showcases what I like most about Jason's race, Jason's race is for everyone, not just the "big dog big budget" teams!)

4. The Kimball Bonus.
For those that believe they have what it takes to become Champion of the 6th Annual JK79, they simply pay an additional $100 towards their entry. These drivers are betting on themselves. If one of these drivers wins, they win the entire amount of $100 extra Kimball Bonus entries. For example, if 40 drivers sign up for The Kimball Bonus, and one of those drivers wins, they walk out with an additional $4,000! If one of those drivers does not win, that $4,000 will be passed back in $50 increments starting with the last place driver in the last main, D-Main for example, and continues to pass up $50 each position until the $4,000 is gone! So yes, even the last place finisher in the first Consi has a chance to win money!

5. AWARDS, AWARDS, AND EVEN MORE AWARDS! REGARDLESS OF HOW DEEP YOU ARE IN THE ALPHABET SOUP, THERE'S AWARDS! If you've ever been to a JK79, you know there's tons of awards. Well, in 2027, there's even more!

Some of what's Staying:

Still a $79 Entry Fee!
EVERY POSITION PAYS!
P30 still pays at least $79!
Purchase at track tires!
$5,579 To Win!
Same Race Format!
Same Qualifying Format!
Same Alphabet Soup, but with the ADDITION of The D-Main!
Awards, Awards, and more Awards. Awards cannot be stated enough!
Cross Roads Motorplex in Jasper, Florida
Florida Karting Series

Each year the entries have grown, with The 5th Annual JK79 having 71 entries with 31 starting in the C-Main! We are expecting even more in 2027 and are looking forward to having a FULL D-Main!

Without a doubt this will be the BIGGEST JK79 yet! LOTS going on behind the scenes to insure it's HUGE!

Towards the end of November we will begin to release more information, just wanted to get this out there so you can put it on your calendars, get work off, and plan accordingly!

Make plans to be with us FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, April 2nd and 3rd 2027 for The 6th Annual Jason Kimball Memorial 79! Get that leave form submitted for work, doctors note for the kids, doctors note for you, or just call in sick Friday morning......I don't care how you do it, just be there.

Really looking forward to 2027,
Justin Holt
