Jesse’s racing initiation came with the SCORE 2015 Baja 1000 Trophy Truck competition as the Trophy Truck #42 entry. It was a childhood dream fulfilled! The thrill of racing through the Baja desert filled with hundreds of cheering onlookers chanting loudly over the roar of our engines, “HOO-KER! HOO-KER! HOO-KER!” still echoes through my mind and brings smiles to my face.

The Hooker Racing team was not conceived or developed as a commercial enterprise with deep pocket funding, rather it was inspired and funded by little more than Jesse’s life-long passion for racing. The goal for the Hooker Racing team is to be an inspiration to all who would dare to rise above their challenges and live out their dreams, whatever they may be. Jesse believes that our successes will not be measured by whether we place first or last and that the payback for our sponsors will be measured by what we pay forward, by inspiring others to pursue their worthy goals – and perhaps make a difference, both in their personal lives and in the world around them.

Having worked day and night dialing in all Race and Chase vehicles to their fullest, ultimate potential, the Hooker team is now focused and ready to take on the 2018 season.
