Moberly, MO | Oct. 3, 2011 - Remember this name... Jake Griffin has been racing since he was 3yrs old. He's been running Late Models for 2.5 years, has almost 100 A-Mains under his belt, 9 Feature wins in 2011 and is also campaigning a UMP modified this year. That in itself is stunning, but the most amazing fact is this 12yr old was tied for the points lead with Ryan Long in the ULMA Late Model Track Championship at 24 Raceway in Moberly, Missouri going into this event...

Jake needed to win the feature to take the points title but Ryan Long was better on this night, winning the A-Main and the ULMA championship. Jake finished fifth in the race and second in the points battle.  LEARN MORE ABOUT JAKE GRIFFIN
