Bio

What do you get when you put a tall ‘Yeti-like’ creature in your car? You get wins – lots and lots of wins!  Starting off in the Grassroots form of racing called Autocross, Jason began with a  low budget and built up to two Solo2 National Championships.  From there, he started road racing in a Mazda, leading to a successful campaign in the MX-5 Cup spec series, where all the cars are identical. Winning the championship in 2007 meant a berth in the Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car series, thanks to Mazda’s Driver Development Ladder.

This remarkable climb from the parking lots of Cleveland to the podium at the sport’s highest level means that Saini has a very strong connection with his fan-base, many of whom autocross themselves. Combined with his well spoken nature, Saini’s ability to generate brand loyalty is much higher than the average sports-car racer.

In  his spare time, Jason is a music buff, foodie and an avid Motorcycle rider who resides in Chicago.

  • 2007 Mazda MX-5 Cup Series Champion
