Jason Leffler Career Statistics
Race-by-Race Chart
2008 Season Outlook
Once again, Jason Leffler has a new leash on life. The first came in 2005, when his Cup Series career appeared to be on the brink of termination, when Joe Gibbs Racing offered him the chance to drive their new 3rd car. But once again, his prospects of success appeared bleak when he DNQed at two races and struggled to maintain top 35 standings in the owner points. It looked as if his big chance would go all for naught, as he was rumored to be on the way out at JGR when he surprised everybody with a pole, earning him a ride at Evernham Motorsports. But after another year of struggles this past season with just 1 top 10 finish and a 31st place finish, it appeared Leffler's chances were again over. Now, however, Leffler has one last shot with Richard Childress Racing in the #31. With Jeff Burton having exited the ride, RCR turns to Leffler, a driver with a penchant for keeping his car clean. Leffler was hurt badly by engine woes last season, and it's unlikely he'll have the same fate this season. Because of that, Leffler should improve at a minimum to a top 20 driver.
