It didn’t appear at first that Jeff had what it needed to win the race but he got up to the front and never looked back. Oh there were a few flubs on pit row but the team overcame them and charged right back up to the front.

He needs to develop his skills in that series before stepping right into the big shoes. He has a lot of potential and with the right training he will definitely become a top level driver in the Sprint series.  Keep an eye out for this kid in the years to come.
