Racing career

edit

In 2007, Francis made his debut in the ARCA Re/Max Series at the Milwaukee Mile at the age of seventeen, driving the No. 61 Dodge for Jake Francis Inc., a team he co-owned with his father. He qualified in 23rd and finished two laps down in twelfth place.[1][2] He then entered in the series finale at Toledo Speedway, this time driving the No. 62 Pontiac for Andy Belmont Racing, but ultimately failed to qualify. For the following year, he entered in five of the first six races of the year, failing to qualify for the event at Daytona International Speedway, and getting a best finish of nineteenth at Kentucky Speedway.[3] He also entered in the season ending race at Toledo, this time driving the No. 80 Ford for Hover Motorsports, where he once again failed to qualify. Afterwards, he did not make another attempt in the series for the next four years, primarily competing in the ARCA Late Model Gold Cup Series.[4]

In 2013, Francis returned to the now ARCA Racing Series at Toledo, this time driving the No. 61 Chevrolet for Francis Engineering Racing, where he qualified in twentieth but finished in 21st due to clutch issues. Afterwards, he did not make another attempt in the series until 2016, where he qualified in nineteenth but finished in 22nd due to engine issues. He has not made another attempt in the series since then.[4]
