JASON JOHNSON RACING (JJR) ANNOUNCES THAT JAMIE VEAL WILL PILOT THE #41 WHILE THE RAGIN’ CAJUN RECUPERATES FROM INJURIES

GREENVILLE, TEXAS (April 22, 2015) – Jason Johnson Racing (JJR) is pleased to announce that Jamie Veal will be piloting the #41 Maxim while Jason recovers from injuries sustained at Placerville Speedway on April 8th.

“We are excited that Jamie Veal will be driving our car on the World of Outlaw tour while I recuperate from these injuries,” Jason explained. “When I got hurt and was laying in that hospital bed out in California, I was scared. During that time, I reflected on my life and one of the things I will always remember and cherish is my time in Australia and the opportunity to drive for the Disbury Family and Alan Haynes’ HM Racing.” He continued, “The memories, friends, and fans we met and got to know during our many trips to Australia are very special to me and my family and this is our opportunity to give back in a small way by partnering with one of their own young, ambitious and talented drivers to race on American soil.”

Jamie Veal is a 26 year old racer from Warrnambool, Australia. He has had a fantastic 2014/15 season aboard the SWI Engineering Team #V35 winning races and becoming the first driver in history to break the ten second barrier at Sungold Stadium, Premier Speedway in Warrnambool with a recorded lap of 9.936 seconds. Jamie will buckle into the seat of the Priority Aviation Services #41 for the first time this weekend at Devil’s Bowl Speedway for the Texas Outlaw Nationals.
