This is very sad news and the last thing I thought I would see on IOW. I am on vacation and just wanted to keep up with my racing news and logged on to IOW and saw this.

Jesse was never to big to come back to his home track in little California MO to put on some great shows. He was a true racers. Last year Jesse even came to one of our local mini sprint races and raced with us in a borrowed car. In true Hockett form he started last and made it up to 3rd and would have won given a few more laps.

RIP
