At just 13 years old, Midlothian, VA native Jackson Fooks has already established himself as a rising star in motorsports. His racing journey began at age 9, when a visit to K1 Speed sparked his passion and led to his first competitive win—an experience that left him instantly hooked. Jackson went on to become a two-time Virginia State Champion at K1.

As he progressed into JR Champ go-karts, Jackson continued to impress at King George Speedway, quickly earning trips to victory lane. His enthusiasm soon shifted toward road course racing at Langley Speedway, where he captured the JR LO206 Championship in 2024.

In 2025, Jackson broadened his experience with select events at Trackhouse Motorplex in both the LO206 and KA100 classes, securing a podium finish at one of the nation’s most competitive karting venues. That same year marked his rookie season in a Legend car, competing at Dominion Raceway, Shenandoah Speedway, and the Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Jackson’s debut season was exceptional—he finished 3rd in points, earned the horizon award at Dominion Raceway, and was crowned the INEX Young Lions Virginia State Champion.

Jackson started off his career with go karting. Seeing talent, Jackon's father, Jordan, decided it was time to put the pedal to the metal. Moving into Legends, Jordan also wanted Jackson to have the tools on and off the track to help him achieve his goals. They purchased a P1 Turnkey sim from Podium 1 to ensure Jackson could continually hone his craft when not on the physical track.
