SIMI VALLEY, California – Irwindale Speedway is over 750 miles from Albuquerque, NM. However, that didn’t stop High Point Racing from finding their newest member to the already expanded team. Jennifer Greenburg, the nineteen year old former midget driver from Albuquerqe, NM recently signed a development deal with High Point.

“I met Jennifer when I went to the Ron Sutton Winner’s Circle combine. She demonstrated class and a great presence with the media. Despite the fact that she hasn’t driven as long as some of the others, I could see a great deal of potential for development in Jennifer,” team owner Tim Huddleston said.

Jennifer decided to pursue racing as a career three years ago after being invited to the Lyn St. James driving program, a program designed for young female drivers entering the sport.

“I’ve raced for five years now but after I attended the LSJ program, I asked my dad what he would think if I pursued racing as a career and since then I’ve been selected for the Ron Sutton program and now with High Point the doors are opening towards a career in NASCAR,” Greenburg stated. “I’m really excited to start testing with High Point and getting up to speed to run for Rookie of the Year,” she added.

Between race dates Jennifer will also be hitting the books hard. As a Business Marketing student at the University of New Mexico, Jennifer is learning how to best benefit her sponsors by learning their side of the business. She hasperformed several internships with marketing firms and race teams, including Hendrick Motorsports.

After racing go-karts for several years, Jennifer began racing midget cars. In 2006, she won the New Mexico Mini Sprint Association championship for combined asphalt and dirt racing series. In 2007, Jennifer won the Rookie of The Year title in the Rocky Mountain Racing Association while finishing fourth in the points chase.

High Point Racing competes in the Auto Club Late Model Series at Irwindale Speedway.
