United States NAVY Lieutenant Jesse Iwuji will be making his superspeedway debut in February when he'll be taking his No. 39 Patriot Motorsports Group Chevrolet to the green flag in the ARCA season opener. It will also be Iwuji's ARCA debut, having raced in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West since 2015. In 2017 he made two starts in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East.
Texas native Jesse Iwuji is a rarity in the NASCAR garage. That isn't because he's one of a growing number of minorities in the garage. Rather, it's because the full-time K&N Pro Series West driver is also an active-duty member of the United States military.
