I'm Jason McIntosh driver of the #33 McIntosh Construction sprint car, I have been racing for 16 years. It all started
when I was 5 and my Dad took the family to Lakeport Speedway home of the mini world of super outlaws and my Dad pulled
me aside and asked me if I would like to race? not too long after, I started racing. My first car was a home
built car, my Dad put a nose wing from one of Bob Consani's 4c sprint cars. It was just Dad and I racing for
the first few years then in 1996 with the help of a good friend Bill Pearl, I won my first championship winning 15 out
of 20 main events. As I moved up through the ranks my skills developed and when my senior year in high school came around
my Dad told me if I graduated I could race sprint cars. I started at Antioch Speedway where I race wingless Spec
Sprints in 2003, the only time I led a race was the last one of the season and with 5 laps to go my motor blew up. The
following season I won 5 main events, the most memorable came at Sliver Dollar Speedway where I won the first wingless race
held there in 10 years. Now you can find me mainly driving a winged 360 at Petaluma Speedway where I have two
wins in the winged cars but we venture off to as many different tracks as we can. Ill drive what ever I
can, I hope to get a ride in a midget or a pavement sprint.
I have been around racing all my life my
Dad would take my brothers and me to watch races at Ukiah Speedway, Calistoga Speedway, and Petaluma Speedway. We
even went down to see the Copper Classic one year. If we weren't racing we were doing something racing related. I
used to do all my school projects on racing and the day after my graduation I went racing.
Racing has
always been the family sport. My Dad raced off and on with my brothers and I, whether it was
motorcycle racing with my older brother Sean or go carts with my younger brothers Chad and Dolan.
