1998 Driver Profile
|
|
J.J. Yeley's impressive performances at Manzanita Speedway and the Copper World Classic at Phoenix International Raceway early in 1998 earned him an IRL ride with Jeff Sinden and his SRS racing team. His IRL debut came at the Dura-Lube 200 at PIR, where he qualified 10th but finished 25th after an accident. He will run in the Indianapolis 500 for SRS and possibly more if sponsorship can be found.
