Jacob "The Hulkster" Newman

Jacob Newman was born on April 27th, 1989 and lives in Mason, Michigan. While working at O'Leary Paints, he dreams for the weekend to arrive when he can strap into his #97 Pony Stock and hit the tracks at Spartan Speedway and Springport Motor Speedway. Driving a 1993 Dodge Shadow, Jacob is having the best season of his short career.


"The Hulkster" started racing in 2003 when he was 14. But, don't let that fool you as Jacob has been around racing all of his life, being a third generation driver.

"I grew up helping my Dad on his race cars as well as my Uncle on his. So I've been to many race tracks but have only raced myself at Spartan and Springport."

In 2005, Jacob received the "Most Improved Driver" award in the Pony Stock Division and finished 12th in points. Jacob claims, "This year, my goal is to finish up in the top 10". It looks like "The Hulkster" will easily accomplish that goal at both tracks.
