JR Motorsports..... Home of the Professionals 

Founded in 1999 by racing enthusiast, Everett Sather, JR Motorsports has been focused on serving the racer and high performance enthusiast since its inception.  Since then, Dick Easter and Dave Johnson have joined Everett in ownership, and together these partners have taken JR Motorsports to an all new level.  Their shared
