Jordan Anderson is closing in on his dream, the NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series. Jordan has been working his way through the ranks of the racing with a vengeance unlike any driver his age. Focused, determined and dedicated are three points this young man has proven amid the many drivers out there trying to make a name for themselves.

This Forest Acres teen has what it takes to make the next move. A polished young business entrepreneur Anderson has developed a business savvy that many 30 year olds envy. Since the age of ten he has proven not only to be a success story on the track but in the boardroom as well. Having financed his racing program fully since the age of 10, Jordan has purposed his time and energy to not only be successful on the track but to learn the 'ins' and 'outs' of promoting sponsorship for his racing program.

Anderson believes the future NASCAR rookies of tomorrow have to be sellable to the ultra competitive commercial market and Fortune 500 companies. "To do this, you must have the ability to win races and handle yourself in a business and commercial setting" says Jordan. In doing this he allows time in his busy racing schedule to travel to guest speaking engagements, promotional events for sponsors along with working in the area schools promoting excellence in the youth for tomorrow by being a mentor.

Over the years, Jordan has been featured in hundreds of interviews locally and nationally from ranging from television, radio, and print. Anyone who spends just a few minutes with young Anderson immediately knows that he is set apart from the masses and has the diversity and ability to excel in the sport of auto racing.

Jordan's prowess with Legends cars, which are tough to master, caught the eye of H.A. Humpy Wheeler. "Anderson is one of the best young drivers in the country" says Wheeler. "He's got what it takes. He's mastering these difficult race cars, which were designed to test the very soul of a young and old driver alike. I like his smoothness and desire to run to the front"

Wheeler believes that if Jordan continues to develop, he could well join ex-Legend drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Reed Sorenson and David Ragan at the Nextel Cup level. "It's time we saw a new bright star develop from the Palmetto State and follow in the footsteps of Little Bud Moore, David Pearson, Cale Yarborough, Larry Frank and Butch Lindley". Over the years Wheeler has encouraged Anderson in areas besides racing, suggesting Belmont Abbey College in Charlotte, which offers a motor sports business program.

Since the age of 4 Jordan has known that he was born to race. He knew early on that NASCAR was his focus and pursuit. Anderson attributes much of his success to the total family support he receives. Jordan's family has sacrificed for him and  is extremely grateful for their dedication, love and support.

He has driven over 25 different tracks to date including some well recognized tracks such as Lowe's Motor Speedway, Hickory Motor Speedway, Concord Motorsports Park, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Orlando Motor Speedway, and Caraway Speedway just to name a few.

For the 2008 season, Anderson plans to hone his skills and gain more experience in the Legends Car series with his sights on running a few full size car races in the popular ARCA, Hooters Pro Cup, or UARA Series funding permitting.

To date, Jordan is representing companies and intervals from 14 different states, including some sponsors that have been with him for the last 7 years.

I am a young man that is a strong believer in Jesus Christ. I am certain of who I am in Him. I believe that I can achieve all things through God and by Him. My Faith is my stronghold and my Shield. My Parents have instilled in me a hope that can only be attained in His name and by never giving up the greatest race of endurance He has set before me, my life of service.
