Jim Foose, Jr is a Spectator Stock Driver who began his racing career in
2000. Jim began racing in the Spectator Stock division at Lorain County Speedway
in South Amherst, Ohio. Jim has battled issues with sponsorship, car failure,
and money to be competitive. In 2001, Jim made an attempt at a full season. The
attempt lasted 13 weeks until the first car was destroyed in a crash. 3 weeks
later and 18 positions lower in the points standings Jim made a return, and
picked up a Heat win just 3 weeks after finishing a new car. Followed by a
Feature win 2 weeks after that. At the end of the 2001 Season Jim was 22nd in
Points. Before the 2002 Season even started Jim announced plans for a
sponsorship from Warren Money Systems of Independence, Ohio. Although Jim had
the backing the team just couldn't get luck on their side and missed 6 weeks of
racing due to an engine problem. Jim, disappointed from the season fought back
to run the 2002 Cavalcade and succeeded at making the race. 3 weeks later Jim
finished 2nd by inches to Mike Chapman in the Winter Racing Series. Jim ran 4 of
the 5 Winter Racing Series Races and in the final show, he picked up a Heat Race
win. Opening Day of 2003 arrived and Jim announced he would not be racing the
full schedule. Jim made 2 starts in the Jim Foose Racing entry before selling,
and joining Quinn Motorsports. With 1 more event in the 2003 Points Season at
Lorain County Speedway Jim started a night and finished 77th in Points. Jim and
the B & D Towing Quinn Motorsports qualified 11th for the 2003
Cavalcade.
