Motorsports and Business Share a Drive for Improvement
Sam Pillar, the CEO and co-founder of Jobber, emphasized the parallels between racing and blue collar entrepreneurship, stating,
“NASCAR is all about athletes like Luke who know how to grind,”
and added,
“Drivers, crews and team owners are all focused on getting a little better every lap. That’s the same mindset we see in blue collar entrepreneurs – people who care deeply about their craft and are always looking for ways to run smarter and grow.”
This mindset ties Jobber’s core audience closely with the racing community that Fenhaus and Hettinger represent.
Hettinger Racing and Fenhaus Enter the NASCAR Series Together
The upcoming race at Daytona marks a double debut: Hettinger Racing will enter the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series for the first time, and Luke Fenhaus will make his series debut as well. Chris Hettinger, an experienced figure in grassroots Late Model racing and owner of Victory Custom Trailers in Michigan, leads the team with hopes of contending aggressively in the 38-car field of the United Rentals 300. Their shared ambition is to position the green-and-blue No. 5 Jobber Ford Mustang near the front during the high-profile event.
Team Owner Highlights Shared Values with Jobber
Chris Hettinger expressed pride in the partnership, affirming,
“We’ve been steadily building toward this moment and we’re incredibly proud to have Jobber on our Ford Mustang for our first NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race.”
He continued,
“Our race team, and Luke in particular, embody Jobber’s customers. We’re hands on, always on the go, and we want to win. We don’t need anything slowing us down. Jobber understands that, and for a business owner like me, they’re essential to a smooth-running operation.”
These remarks emphasize the alignment between their team’s approach and Jobber’s support for hardworking business owners.
Luke Fenhaus’s Racing Journey Reaches New Heights
Hailing from Wausau, Wisconsin, 21-year-old Fenhaus has progressed steadily through the racing ranks, building a solid foundation in Late Models before advancing to the ARCA Menards Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. He has secured two ARCA victories and completed 12 Truck Series starts last season, including a standout third-place finish and pole position at Michigan International Speedway. Fenhaus views his Daytona debut as a critical step in his career development within NASCAR’s national series.
Driver Expresses Gratitude and Readiness for Debut
Reflecting on his growth, Fenhaus stated,
“Late Models are my foundation, ARCA helped me take the next step, and the Truck Series taught me what it takes to compete at a national level. To be making my NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series debut at Daytona is something I’ve worked toward for a long time, and I’m ready for it.”
He also expressed appreciation for Jobber’s support, saying,
“I’m proud to represent Jobber and gracious for their support. For a racer like me who’s scratching and clawing for every opportunity, their partnership means everything.”
