Jeremy Mullinax
 

       It all started as a kid Jeremy grew up watching his hero, Bill Elliott, on T.V hoping that one day he could drive his own race car.

       When Jeremy was ten years old, he and his dad built Jeremy's first go-kart in a little shop out behind the barn. Jeremy started racing at a small local tracks right next to home, not knowing where his future was headed.

       Right away, everyone saw the talent that the kid from North Georgia, including a  man by the name of Ron Hedrick. Ron helped Jeremy in 2003 who went on to win 24 races in one season at two local track including a Championship.

       With the fast progress that Jeremy had made, he and his dad felt like it was time to move up on a state level and attempt to compete. In Jeremy's first season in the Georgia Divisional State Series, he was ranked 3rd in the state in his division, along with several top 5 finishes and a win.

       In 2004, Jeremy competed in the WKA Briggs & Stratton Dirt Series and also competed in several big money races including the Tri-State series. In 2005, it was time to move on to asphalt and that's when Jeremy made the switch from Go-karts to Legend cars.

       In 2005, Jeremy and his dad spent the whole year testing his legend car to see how Jeremy's talent on asphalt was going to turn out. When the 2006 season came along, Jeremy started out the year on a good note with the help of a former ASA and ARCA driver Doug Stevens. Finishing in the top 5 almost every weekend at Lanier National Speedway. He also competed in two Thursday Thunder events At Atlanta Motor Speedway, in which he finished 5th and 1st. Toward the end of the season, Jeremy ran several races in the Georgia Winter Series/ Winter Flurry.

      When the season was over, Jeremy was Lanier National Speedway's Rookie of the Year and was 4th overall in the standings. He got his first career win at Atlanta Motor Speedway and was 6th in the Georgia Winter Series/ Winter Flurry points standings.

       In February of 2007 Jeremy attended Finish Line School instructed by racing legend Mike Loesher in preperation for the 2008 season. Mike felt that Jeremy's driving style fit right in with a full size stock car.

       After the school Jeremy continued to race his legends cars through the 2007 season. Jeremy was on the track almost 3 times a week between the Thursday Thunder events at Atlanta Motor Speedway and the events at Lanier National Speedway. Jeremy wasen't able to capture as many wins as he wanted but nevertheless he was always upfront and in contintion to win races.

       After a long summer of racing came to an end, Jeremy found himself the 2007 Georgia State Semi-Pro Champion and was 2nd in points standings at both Lanier National Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway.  Jeremy had 45 starts, 3 wins, 27 top5s, 40 top10s and a average finish of 5.4.

        "Since I was a little kid my goal as been to drive a race car." Mullinax says. Jeremy feels like the 2008 season is going to give him a shot to do that he has dreamed of. Jeremy will compete in the ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour and also some local GAS races.
