Jordon Mallett is back on the ASCS National Tour trail this year.
The Arkansas native was a full-time competitor with the series in 2019 and 2020, earning results of ninth during his rookie campaign and sixth the following season. He captured his first career ASCS National Tour feature triumph in 2021.
“We gained a lot of valuable laps and learned a lot of lessons from our previous time on the road with the ASCS National Tour,” Mallett said. “We’re looking forward to returning to the road with the top 360 sprint car series and putting what we’ve learned to use.”
The ASCS National Tour, which features four dozen races at 25 tracks in 10 states, opens the season this Friday and Saturday at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, during the Devil’s Bowl Speedway Spring Nationals.
Mallett’s best result in five starts at the unique track is a seventh-place outing in 2020.
“Devil’s Bowl is certainly unique,” he said. “It can be a tough track to dig yourself out of a hole so it’s important to be on point from the time you hit the track for hot laps. I think if we can set ourselves up at the beginning of the night we can run up front. It’s just critical to be successful early and earn a spot in the first couple of rows if you want to be battling for a win in the feature.”
The goal for this season is to be consistent, which will hopefully lead to a career-best result in the championship standings.
“Our goals are to win races and win the championship, but when you are points racing you have to be conscious about the bigger picture,” he said. “I think if we can be a consistent top-five performer night in and night out we will put ourselves in contention for multiple wins and a championship.”
