In this modern day era, Jesse Hockett was one of the best open wheel drivers the midwest has produced. In his 26 years Jesse made a name for himself in sprint car racing, winged or non-winged. Winning major races from back East to the West coast, Jesse had the right stuff as far as a race car driver was concerned. He was easy to be around and always friendly and willing to talk to anyone. Once on the track Jesse only had one speed, fast forward.
We in the Midwest have lost our guy in the world of Sprint Cars. All of us will miss him a great deal.
Seeing Jesse do what he did best as in this video taken last Friday at State Fair Speedway won't help the hurt we all feel but hopefully remind us of the "Rocket", Jesse Hockett.

Condolences to his wife and family and other loved ones and all his fans. Words will never remove the hurt and anger you must feel. Only time will help you understand what has taken place. May your understanding of what God can do help you thru this tragedy. Mike K.
