ABF Racing returns to the track in 2009 as an associate sponsor of the No. 38 Great Clips Toyota Camry driven by Jason Leffler. This will be ABF’s fourth consecutive year as a sponsor of race cars owned by Mooresville, N.C.-based Braun Racing.
Leffler, who finished ninth in the 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Championship point standings, will make a run for his first NASCAR Nationwide Series title in 2009 piloting the No. 38 Great Clips Toyota Camry for Braun Racing.
Leffler competed in his first NASCAR Nationwide Series race in 1999 at Indianapolis Raceway Park as well as the Auto Racing Club of America (ARCA) race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where he caught the attention of many garage insiders by posting a fifth place finish in his first start in the series.
In 2000, he competed in three NASCAR Nationwide Series races and the following year entered into his first full season of competition in the series, where he started from the pole three times and scored two top-five and five top-10 finishes.
The next few years brought new opportunities for Leffler as he spent time in all three of NASCAR’s top series. His time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2002-03 made him one of the sports most sought after drivers as he captured eight poles, 11 top-five, and 15 top-10's finishes. He finished fourth in the championship standings. Leffler scored his first Truck Series win at Dover International Speedway in 2003 and his first Nationwide Series victory in 2004 at Nashville Superspeedway.
Mid-way through the 2005 season, Leffler teamed up with Braun Racing to pilot their entry in the NASCAR Nationwide Series for the remainder of the season. The partnership has proved to be nothing short of successful as year after year they have topped the previous year’s success.
