Jesse Little is no stranger to the sport of auto racing.  Jesse was introduced to racing at a very young age and from a unique perspective as his dad was also a race car driver. 

Jesse's dad, Chad Little, drove the #97 John Deere Car for Roush Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series.   Ever since Jesse can remember, he's either been at a race or in a race car.   His Dad constantly reminds him "to finish first, you must first finish, learn how to race, when to race and who to race against".   

Jesse started racing competitively when he was seven and now he is winning at each level of competition.    Starting in the Quarter Midgets, Jesse has progressed through Bandolero's and is now racing in several series.   In 2010, Jesse will be racing 3 different cars -  Late Models, Legends, and USAC Midgets. The only division in 2010 that Jesse will be racing for points is the USAC Midget series. 




Jesse's biggest fan is his sister Haley who loves to pick on her brother when he's strapped in the seat belts.  Haley is pictured here with Chad.   Jesse's Mom, aka Donna, keeps lap times and order among the boys.  Donna, pictured below with Jesse, constantly reminds everyone that family time comes first.  

Jesse's hobbies include motorcycle riding, snow skiing,  and water skiing.  He recently joined his school golf team.  Jesse's favorite subject in school is Math and plans to go to college for Mechanical Engineering.   He recently scored one of the highest math scores in the state of NC.
