In 2022, Jake secured a P2 finish in class at the prestigious Baja 500. Following his success, he raced in the Las Vegas Legends Series, securing multiple podiums before transitioning to Lamborghini Super Trofeo for the 2023 season.

During and prior to the Super Trofeo season, Jake competed in the World Racing League (WRL) with Pinnacle Motorsports, achieving multiple wins and podiums. His 2023 Super Trofeo season saw him promoted to the Pro category after his debut at Laguna Seca, and he was later invited to the prestigious Lamborghini Young Driver Program. He was one of eight drivers selected for the Lamborghini Young Driver Shootout at Vallelunga following the World Finals.

 

In addition to his WRL and Super Trofeo success, Jake also competed in IMSA with Auto Technic Racing, securing two second-place finishes in the BMW GT4 at Lime Rock. He was invited to drive the BMW GT3 for Samantha Tan Racing at the Indy 8 Hour.

 

In 2024, Jake was invited to join Turner Motorsport to compete in the IMSA WeatherTech Endurance Series with their BMW GT3 car. He partnered with Robby Foley, Patrick Gallagher, and Jens Klingmann for endurance events like the Rolex 24 Hour and Sebring International Raceway, where he consistently maintained top-three positions before facing race complications.

 

Jake’s 2024 season remains strong, with a notable P2 overall finish in race 2 of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series at Laguna Seca.
