Jake Karklin

Jake is the 5th generation driver in his family. He grew up watching his family race, and that is where his love for the sport began. It helped him realize at a very early age that he was going to work as hard as he could to make his dream of becoming a race car driver a reality.

In 2021 Jake and Lauren relocated to Geneva, NY and Jake ran with the Empire Super Sprints- a 360 Series and he won the Rookie of the Year award.

In 2022 Jake & his fiance Lauren moved back to her hometown, better known as the heart of Sprint Car Racing- Central Pennsylvania. His first full year here he competed with the United Racing Club-picking up a handful of Top 5’s .
