We’re thrilled to publicly welcome Jesse Hasson to our team as the new Shop Porter and Apprentice Race Technician. Jesse started back in September and has been getting up to speed and helping the Racer on Rails wheels continue to churn. Jesse’s journey into the world of racing and car mechanics is not just a career choice but a lifelong passion that has been nurtured from a young age.
Jesse’s love for cars and racing sparked early, growing up with a wrench in hand alongside his father. “From the day that I replaced the water pump in our family truck alongside my dad, I knew that working on cars was my lifelong passion and hobby,” Jesse shares. This early experience laid the foundation for his deep-rooted love for all things automotive.
Further honing his skills, Jesse attended Renton Technical College, where he immersed himself in the world of car mechanics. His time at Renton wasn’t just about learning; it was about embracing the complexity and beauty of what makes cars tick. Jesse’s education went beyond textbooks, delving into the practical, hands-on experience that is crucial in our field along with helping on side projects around the shop and working during the race weekends for a while before he officially joined.
But Jesse’s ambitions don’t stop at just fixing and maintaining cars. He dreams of being behind the wheel, competing on the race track. “It is also my lifelong dream to one day competitively drive race cars,” he says with determination. This dream adds an extra layer of enthusiasm and understanding to his role with us.
As our new Shop Porter and Apprentice Race Technician, Jesse brings not just technical skills, but a genuine passion and understanding of the racing world. His role is pivotal in helping the shop operate properly and to help us maintain the high standards of race cars that we manage, ensuring they are in top condition for every race and event.
We believe that Jesse’s passion for racing, combined with his budding technical knowledge, makes him an invaluable addition to our team. His journey is a testament to following one’s passions and turning them into a career. We can’t wait to see the contributions Jesse will make to our team.
Welcome to the team, Jesse! The race track just got a little more exciting with you on board.
