Local Lima High School Sprint Car Driver with Big Dreams
by Ares Jackson and Brian Lugnut

Local High School Senior, Jared Horstman, has been chasing after his dreams for the past eleven years. The young man started his career by first racing go-carts in Cridersville, Ohio at the age of seven. After seven years of go-cart racing, at the age of fourteen, he decided to move up to mini sprint cars. Jared continued to race mini sprints for three years and at the young age of seventeen he made his move to full size Sprint cars. Over the past eleven years, the teen phenomenon has accrued many different sponsors and raced at multiple tracks around the state. 

He even managed to get to race against Tony Stewart at Eldora, Ohio where he overtook Mr. Stewart while making a turn. Jared is now eighteen and currently races at Limaland Motorsports Park in Lima, Ohio every weekend. He works on his car for roughly thirty hours a week while also working at RTH in Delphos and attending Ottoville High School. Jared plans on continuing to race full size Sprint cars and hopefully moving up to Busch series racing and eventually on to Nascar. He also hopes to one day meet his favorite racecar driver, Dale Earnhart Jr. Jared would also like to note that if you are interested in helping him with his racing career and would like to sponsor him, you could reach him at his home phone (419)-488-2741.
 
Racing
Racing is the exhileration, the sweat, the heartache, the feeling of victory, and the pain of defeat. Racing is preparing the racecar with friends, changing tires, making last minute decisions, and the excitement that builds with each passing lap. Racing is rivals, friendships, good times, laughter, and memories that will last a life time.Racing is the agony of a bad crash, and the inspiring feeling of a well deserved win. It is the knowledge, dedication, and loyalty of pit crews and drivers.Racing is not only a sport...it is a way of life. 
 
You become so caught up in the drama of it all, that it becomes a vital part of you. The competition takes you in, until you eat, breathe, and live racing. You love the smell of the fumes when you start up the engine for the first time after a long winter break...You love drawing up a new body design...You love working on the car in the middle of February, imagining how beautiful it will be on the track. Racing is in you...
