Racing career

Jackson began racing at the age of fifteen. [1] He debuted in the CASCAR Super Series East in 1994, finishing 24th in a race at Jukasa Motor Speedway. [2]

Jackson began racing in the Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Tour in 2002, and between 2003 and 2005 competed in races in both the National and North regions, before only running the North in 2006 and returning to both divisions in 2007. [3] He competed in the 2003 Sunoco Race of Champions at Oswego Speedway in New York, finishing 32nd. [4]

He also made his ACT Late Model Tour debut in 2007, finishing sixth at Kawartha Speedway. He again raced at an ACT race at Kawartha in 2008, scoring another top ten in eighth, and also made his Serie ACT Quebec, then the Serie ACT-Castrol, debut at Capital City Speedway, finishing 24th after overheating issues took him out of the race.

In 2010, Jackson competed in two OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Model Series events, finishing in the top-ten in both races. He also competed in that year's ACT Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, finishing in 34th. [5]

Jackson began competing in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series in 2012. [6] In his debut at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, driving the No. 81 Dodge for Brian Barton, he started in 20th and finished in sixteenth. [7] He ran eight more races in the series in 2012, all in the No. 81, scoring his first top-ten at Barrie Speedway.

In 2013, Jackson moved to Jim Bray's team and competed in all but one race, scoring a new best finish of seventh at Delaware Speedway. [8] He continued competing for Jim Bray Autosport in 2014, competing in five races with a best finish of seventh at Edmonton International Raceway. [9] Jackson competed in four races in Jim Bray's No. 98 in 2015, scoring a best finish of eighth at Autodrome Chaudière. [10]

Jackson drove for Brian Barton again in the season opener of the renamed NASCAR Pinty’s Series in 2016 before driving for Bud Morris' Canada's Best Racing Team for the majority of the season, where he scored a career best third place finish at Sunset Speedway. [11] Jackson continued competing for CBRT in 2017, as well as making a start for DJK Racing. His best result of the season was seventh, twice. [12]

In 2018, Jackson competed for various race teams, scoring a best finish of 8th at Edmonton. [13] Jackson only competed in three races in 2019, as he became a crew chief for Jason White. [1] [14] In the abbreviated 2020 season, Jackson ran the full six race schedule split between Jim Bray's No. 98 and his own No. 84, scoring a best finish of sixth at Jukasa [15] and finishing seventh in the points standings. [16]

Jackson again competed full time in 2021. [17] He scored a best finish of seventh at Sunset Speedway and finished tenth in the standings. [18] [19] Jackson's No. 84 team returned full time in 2022. [20] Jackson competed as the driver in ten of the season's thirteen races, scoring a best finish of eighth at Circuit Trois-Rivières. [21] Jackson and his team returned for the 2023 season, with Jackson driving the No. 84 full time and Matthew Scannell driving a second part-time entry. [22] Jackson's best finish of the season was a seventh place result at Eastbound Speedway. [23]

Jackson ran nearly the entire schedule in the rebranded NASCAR Canada Series in 2024, skipping only one race while Daniel Bois drove the No. 84. Jackson scored a season high sixth place finish at Circuit Trois-Rivières and tied his career best seventh place points finish. [24] Jackson returned in 2025, driving the No. 85 in the Clarington 200. [25] He returned to the No. 84 at Riverside International Speedway. [26] He didn't run again until the inaugural race at Calabogie Motorsports Park. [27]
