Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (March 27, 2023) – This weekend presents the second attempt for Jordon Mallett to kick off the ASCS National Tour season.

Mallett has been dormant the last couple of weeks after the originally scheduled season opener rained out. The next opportunity comes this Friday and Saturday at Jackson Motor Speedway in Byram, Miss.

“The rainouts the last few weekends is how it is this time of year,” he said. “At least we’ve already ran almost 10 races this season and a lot of guys haven’t been able to race. We learned a lot down in Florida in February and hopefully we’ll pick up where we left off.”

Mallett has enjoyed success at Jackson Motor Speedway, including a top-10 run during each of his last four starts following a 20th-place result during his debut in 2016. He posted a fourth-place run in 2017, a seventh-place outing in 2018 and a third-place finish in 2020 prior to last year’s trip to Victory Lane.

“We finally won one last year, but it seemed we were cursed for a while,” he said. “We wound up on the podium or the top five about every time we were there before we finally got it done. The stars were aligned and everything was good.

“That place can be really, really good and really, really racy. Last year it was up against the curb for the whole feature. We’ve been there before when it’s been predominately around the bottom, too. It’s a unique place. Both ends are different so that makes it a little more exciting.”

This year marks Mallett’s return to a full-time ASCS National Tour schedule. He raced for points in 2019 and in 2020, finishing ninth and sixth, respectively, in the championship standings. Following a couple of years of doing a pick-and-choose schedule, Mallett is rejoining the ASCS National Tour in search of a career-best campaign.

“I’m optimistic,” he said. “If we can do our job and go at it race by race I think we can contend. We know how to points race pretty well. I think that’s an aid to us. The last couple of years we got away from the points racing. So I think we’ll have a good balance of being able to points race, but also race for wins at the same time.”
