Jarod Vanderkooi 20

As Daytona quickly approaches I feel like it’s only fair to share that I will not be lining up for the 2026 racing season. To be clear, I’m not ready to hang up the steel shoe, this isn’t a “retirement” post, nor a personal choice, but there was just no opportunity available for me to go racing. I am hopeful something will come together in the future and that you’ll see the #20 back out there eventually, but as of now it just hasn’t worked out. Though I am super bummed to have to sit this one out, I am grateful for the incredible life and family I have created outside of the sport and I know my best days are ahead of me. Thank you to all of you that have supported me over the years. 🏁

25 thanks for the memories.🎉
Good times, better friends and my baby girl i’d say that made for a good year. Thanks to everyone in my corner that makes life a good one.

Happy Thanksgiving from us to you.🦃
Have a lot to be grateful for these days.

For all your sacrifices to serve our country and protect our freedom, thank you Veterans🇺🇸

Little bit of life lately🍼
Been a break from the bike, but enjoying dad life with my wife and my little girl Adeline.🤍

Been a little quiet on social lately, took a few weeks to unwind from the year. However I couldn’t let the season pass without an appreciation post for the people that make this dream a reality for me.

A huge thank you to Arney & Amy Wick for giving me the opportunity to represent , none of this season would’ve been possible without all their efforts, support and belief in me.

My guys Jay & Travis for wrenching all season giving me the best they could.

I’d also like to thank Bob Davis & Robbie Davis at Fairway Chevrolet GMC & Fairway Ford for staying in my corner, very grateful for the Fairway family and their continuous support of my career.

Also a special thank you to Floyd and the Tapp family, , , .moly.powersports , & for everything behind the scenes that keep the train rollin. As well as a thank you to all the fans that support me year after year.

As every year ends, the next season is never promised. We have a few things in the works and going to keep working in hopes things fall together. In the meantime I’m going to take a little time to support my wife, and prepare to transition into my newest and most exciting role, being a dad!

Man, Springfield just hasn’t been my friend these past few years. Fought some mechanicals early, then lost a motor in qualifying, lost another in the LCQ which means I was watching the rest of the night from a different view than normal. Big thanks to my team, Arney, Amy, Travis & Jay for working all day/night doing engine swaps, repairs and everything they could to give me a bike to try again today.

Peoria, P-3.
Been chasing a Peoria podium for a while, and it feels great to give my team a result they deserve. I truly can’t thank enough for the opportunity they have given me, and all the effort they put into my program.
Along with , & for sticking by me on the hottest day possible keeping my bike dialed. Also to my wife for being a such a trooper through it all. This weekend was a big team effort, and I’m grateful for my crew.

Hot one here in Peoria, bikes are about to hit the track.🔥
