“ One constant in life is change. Our race team has not performed up to our expectations for an extended period of time. Lack of performance is never one person’s fault, we are a team and we win together and struggle together. Understanding that we have an obligation to our sponsors and ourselves ,the time comes when you have to make a change . All of us at Hoffman racing want to thank Jerry Coons Jr. for his contributions to the success of Hoffman Racing. Together we won the 2008 USAC National Sprint Car Championship. Jerry has also won 13 USAC National races for the Hoffman Team , more than any driver in team history. He is truly one of the good guys in our sport and it has been a pleasure to work with him. We wish Jerry, Amy and their family the best in the future and we hope that change is good for all of us, ”said Richard Hoffman , President of Hoffman Racing.
Richard Hoffman continued, “ While we are saddened by Jerry’s departure, we are excited to welcome Daron Clayton to our Team. Daron has driven for Hoffman Racing twice and won a USAC National Sprint car race for us at Gas City in 2007”. Rob Hoffman commented “ He is an exciting driver with great potential. We look forward to helping Daron achieve his goals.”
