Ain't it funny how things work out?
Back in Jason's sportsmen days, one of his fiercest competitors was Ryan McQueary. At that time there was no love lost between the two and lets just say the two never exchanged Christmas cards.
Skip forward about six years. While both drivers moved up to late models, Ryan curtailed his driving career a few seasons ago to focus on family and business. Even though he wasn't driving, I would often see the McQueary's, Ryan, his brother Chad and their father Bob at various tracks from East Bay to Peoria and many places in between. It gets in your blood.
We all spent a lot of time watching Jason's career take off.
While Jason is starting to make things happen for himself in the racing world, The McQueary's have been hard at work in the business world.
Enter Stearn Ironworks and Jaxon Chase Steel Detailing, two family owned businesses that work in conjunction with one another. Chad put things in a nutshell..."Jaxon Chase tells us what and how to build it, then Stearn Ironworks handles the manufacturing. The companies work together to produce items such as structural beams, columns, stairs, handrails...all sorts of things."
As I mentioned before, racing gets in your blood. With the businesses established, Ryan, Bob and Chad felt the time was right to re-involve themselves in the sport.
One time rivals are now the freshest ink on the Team Feger #25, occupying space on both quarter panels. I asked Ryan why they decided to go with Jason. " I've been watching Jason for years and I always thought he had a lot of talent, he just needed some financial backing to help take his program to the next level. Our goal is to help him get to that next level. We're in this for the long term and if things go as planned, what we've done so far is just the tip of the iceburg."
Great news for Team Feger, not only do they have new advertising partners on the car, they have new partners that UNDERSTAND racing. Now it's up to Jason and the team to to get Stearn, Jaxon Chase and all the fine folks listed on the right as much exposure as possible.
I prefer victory lane photos myself...
