Driver Spotlight: Jacob Sutcliffe

Each week, JoMo Media will spotlight a featured driver to follow over the weekend, and there’s no better way to kick things off than with the 2024 Struyk Energy Systems Mini Stock Champion — Jacob Sutcliffe.

Jacob captured three feature wins last season and proved to be a consistent front-runner on his way to the championship. Over the off-season, the Sutcliffe team has been hard at work preparing two strong entries for both Jacob and his brother Wyatt. You can catch the Sutcliffe Brothers in action this summer at Sunset Speedway and various touring events across the region.

This weekend, Jon will be heading to Sunset Speedway to film the first episode of A Day At The Races, presented by Peps Pro Painting. We’ll be going behind the scenes with Jacob and Wyatt Sutcliffe for an exclusive ride-along experience.

Be sure to follow the action all day long on JoMo Media and Sutcliffe Brothers Racing social media channels.
