Racing Future Watch: Jake Drew Racing Cards, NASCAR – Jake Drew is an up-and-coming figure in the racing world. He made his debut at age 14 racing karts. Drew completed his karts career in 2019 by placing sixth in the Rotax Stars & Stripes Open-Senior Max, eighth in the ROK the Rio-Senior ROK, and second in the KUSA SuperNationals XXIII-KA100 Senior circuit.
Drew’s transition to stock cars was interrupted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Drew really put himself on the map in the ARCA Menards Series West circuit by finishing second for the season. He just missed out on the championship on a tiebreaker. With seven Top 10 finishes, four Top 5 finishes, three pole positions and three podiums, Drew’s debut was a smashing success.
The bitter feeling of just missing out on the series title followed Drew into 2022, providing him with all the motivation he needed. Drew’s hard work, fueled by that inspiration, resulted in the success that he sought. He had four wins, nine Top 5s, ten Top 10s – and the series championship.
Caught in the crossfire of his team folding their ARCA West operations after the season, Drew had to scramble to find a ride in 2023. Drew only raced once all year in the Menards Series West. However, his goal of moving up to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series was fulfilled. He raced six times and managed to place 31st in the standings on that very limited run. That was due largely to an average finish of 18.7. Drew’s success going back through the 2010s in karts and now in the early 2020s in ARCA and the trucks has branded him as one of the drivers to watch going forward. He is one who has consistently been able to capitalize on the opportunities in front of him.
Drew’s cards start with a series that came out through Donruss in 2023. An Artist Proof card highlights the set.
