Jason Schuler (born February 24, 1972 in Cambridge, Wisconsin), is a former NASCAR driver. He ran select races from 2000-2004 in the Busch Series. He is currently building cars for JJ Fabrication, Inc. (formerly Pathfinder Chassis), the company he owns and operates along with Joe Wood in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.[1]
Busch Series Career
Schuler made his first starts in the Busch Series in 2000 when fellow Cambridge native Matt Kenseth offered him a ride in his #17 Visine Chevy for twelve races. Kenseth and Schuler were childhood friends.[1] Schuler struggled, missing one race and only earning four top-20 finishes, leading to his release. Schuler's best finish on the year was 14th at Gateway (where he led two laps) and at NHIS.
Schuler only made two starts in 2001, both for Buckshot Racing. Schuler finished 41st at Gateway and 35th at Pikes Peak in the #04 Georgia-Pacific vehicle.
Schuler only ran five times in 2002, all for the Havill-Spoerl Racing team. However, the team did not finish any of the starts, and Schuler's best finish was a pair of 36ths.
Schuler made the most races of his career in 2003, when Havill-Spoerl went full-time and Schuler made twenty-seven starts. His best run (and career finish) came at Nashville, where he finished 13th. In addition, Schuler added on two more top-twentys at Talladega and Gateway. At Pikes Peak, Schuler led eleven laps under caution before falling out in 28th. Schuler finished 28th in points, the highest he has ever ranked in NASCAR.
Schuler began 2004 by making six starts for Davis Motorsports and the #10 Chevy. Schuler finished four of those starts and had a best finish of 27th at North Carolina Speedway. He also made a start for Allen Racing at the Milwaukee Mile, where he finished 42nd.
Schuler has not raced since.
Life after racing
Schuler bought Pathfinder Chassis / JJ Motorsports Racing in 2005 along with Jon Wood based on Kenseth's recommendation; they moved the race car manufacturing shop to Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.[1] In 2010, he was crew chief for Ross Kenseth and Ty Majeski.[2]
