DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(February 29, 2024) –
JMC Motorsports
is excited to announce the
return of Jarod
Vanderkooi as pilot and
Fairway Ford Ohio
as title sponsor to battle for
the Mission SuperTwins
championship aboard an Indian
FTR750 during the 2024
Progressive American Flat Track
season.
‘24 marks the fourth consecutive
season Vanderkooi and team owner
Jay Maloney have worked in
unison, starting as rider and
crew chief 2021. During that
span, the duo has secured a
total of ten premier-class
podium finishes, including nine
top twos, highlighted by
Vanderkooi’s maiden victory and
Progressive Triple Crown triumph
at the end of the ‘22 season.
Canfield Ohio-based Fairway Ford
Ohio came aboard as title
sponsor in Maloney’s return to
team owner a year ago. The team
came out swinging in 2023,
scoring a runner-up result
during the season-opening
doubleheader, before ultimately
securing 15 top tens en route to
a seventh-place Grand National
Championship ranking.
Building on that experience, the
ambition is to achieve even
greater success in ‘24.
Jay Maloney, Team Owner:
“JMC Motorsports is looking to
significantly up our results
from last year. We had a few
results that showed where we
belong, but it felt like the
majority of the year we battled
through bad luck and flat-out
bad results, and we plan to put
behind us. Back with Jarod and
the Fairway Ford family, there’s
no reason we shouldn’t be
fighting for the top step of the
podium with regularity this
season.
“We had an outpouring of support
from the Progressive AFT
community to support our 2024
efforts. Floyd Tapp, a long-time
supporter of Jarod, helped
tremendously in pushing those
efforts forward. For that, we’re
very appreciative, and plan to
take full advantage of the
opportunity before us.”
Jarod Vanderkooi, #20:
“Going into the 2024 season
honestly the best word to use
is, grateful. This will be my
fourth year working with Jay.
Last year we branched out under
our own tent, and we learned so
much that will set us up to be
that much stronger and hungrier
than ever before.
“I
can't thank Bob and Robbie Davis
at Fairway Ford enough for
coming back on board in a big
way, and I’d also like to say a
big thank you to Floyd Tapp
Racing and everyone from the
racing community that chipped in
to support our effort. The
people in my corner never quit,
and for that I’m thankful. Their
generosity and support are the
only reason we’re able to do
what we love. I feel like I have
a lot to prove this year, and
I’m ready to get it going.”
Bob and Robbie Davis,
Owners of Fairway Ford Ohio:
"We are thrilled to once again
stand behind Jarod Vanderkooi
and JMC Motorsports as their
title sponsor for a second
consecutive season. Jarod is not
only an incredibly talented
racer, but also a local Ohioan,
making our support for him and
his team even more special. We
have been supporting Jarod since
his early days in racing and
watching his growth and success
has been truly inspiring.
“Jarod has exceptional skill and
unwavering determination. We’re
proud to support such a talented
and dedicated rider.”
