DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(March 1, 2023) – JMC
Motorsports is thrilled
to announce it has signed Jarod
Vanderkooi to compete
for the Mission
SuperTwins presented by S&S
Cycle championship
aboard Indian FTR750s for the
2023 Progressive
American Flat Track season.
JMC Motorsports represents a
return to the role of team owner
for Jay Maloney, a former
top-level competitor himself who
served as Vanderkooi’s crew
chief for the past two seasons
with the Mission Roof Systems
outfit.
During that span, the pairing
enjoyed a remarkably successful
run together – including nine
podiums and eight top-two
finishes – that ultimately
culminated in Vanderkooi
claiming his maiden
premier-class victory and being
named the Progressive Triple
Crown winner during the ‘22
season finale weekend.
Together they aim to build on
that success in 2023, and while
branching off under the JMC
Motorsports banner, they will
continue to be supported by
Jerry Stinchfield and Roof
Systems of Dallas, Texas, along
with the engine building of Ben
Evans.
JMC Motorsports is also proud to
announce that Fairway
Ford of Canfield, Ohio,
has signed on as the team’s
title sponsor.
“Trusting the guy working on
your motorcycle is huge,” said
Vanderkooi. “Having that guy be
someone like Jay – who has raced
at the competitive level and has
an understanding of how things
on track feel – has allowed us
to develop a great dynamic that
I’m excited to build on.
Throughout my pro career I have
never had the opportunity to be
the main rider. Going into the
season knowing that everyone in
my pit area is rooting for me to
be the guy brings me so much
confidence. The goal every
weekend is to be on the top step
of the podium. The way we
finished last season just shows
we’re capable. I think I’ve
always kind of been considered
the underdog, but I’ve been
training harder than ever this
off season and I’m ready to come
out swinging in Daytona.”

Maloney said, “I fully believe
in this team and have confidence
in our rider to be on the box
every weekend. Jarod Vanderkooi
is a very versatile rider in all
forms of flat track racing. Our
goal each and every race is to
put us in a position to be a top
contender for the Mission
SuperTwins championship. Being
the team owner is not new to me
as I previously ran my own
program and fielded multiple
Parts Unlimited AFT Singles
riders. While we are new to
having this caliber of a rider,
behind the scenes our program is
very similar to what we
previously had a lot of success
with. I’m also excited to
welcome Bob and Robbie Davis and
the whole Fairway Ford team
onboard the effort. We’re going
to have a lot of fun together
this season. We look forward to
seeing everyone at the track and
greatly appreciate all the
continued support.”
Bob Davis said, “We watched
Jarod grow up racing at Western
Reserve Motorcycle Club in
Salem, Ohio. In Jarod’s younger
years, we were involved with him
and his family as an amateur
sponsor. Fairway Ford looks
forward to being a dealership of
choice for Progressive AFT fans.
We are a large volume Ford
dealer and our goal is to have
the best prices of any dealer in
the country and we will deliver
right to your door.”
In addition to Fairway Ford,
Roof Systems, Ben Evans Racing,
and Indian Motorcycles, JMC
Motorsports will have new and
continued support from a range
of other companies, including
Rekluse Clutches, Parts
Unlimited, 4SR, Liqui Moly,
Avila Racing, Level 10
Transmissions, Goon Glass,
Motion Pro, Vortex, Tinks
Customs, All Phase Masonry &
Chimney, and Full Spectrum.
