Dylan and Boone have raced together since their quarter-midget days and have remained competitors and friends throughout the years and into their late model careers.

Boone has one prior start with DFR at Nashville in June, where he finished second.

Fetcho, running part-time this season and not running for championship points, has been focused on building the team’s driver development program while building a touring Super Late Model schedule for himself. The team recently announced Brentwood, Tennessee’s Aiden Potter to their program as well.

Boone is a 2019 graduate of Franklin, Tennessee’s Page High School and began racing quarter midgets when he was 9 years old, going on to win 50-plus races on the local and national circuits in his 7-year career in quarter-midgets.

Since transitioning to his Late Model stock car career, Boone has tallied 12 wins and numerous podium and top 5 finishes across the southeast including the 2019 Pro Late Model championship at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway.

In 2022 and 2023, Jackson was selected as a finalist for the esteemed (Alan) Kulwicki Driver Development program and placed 3^rd both years. Jackson had a dream season in 2023 where he celebrated 6 wins, 5 runner -ups, 2 top 3’s and 2 top 5’s.

Boone recently announced his own racing program had lost significant sponsorship backing and the team’s future was uncertain. He noted that the unique opportunity to partner with DFR, gives him an opportunity to do more for his sponsors and the individuals that have helped him all along the way as the 2024 race season begins to wind down.

“The whole point of this race on Saturday is to honor those who have supported us through the years and those who have had my back for quite some time. A lot of challenging work has gone into this event for us to be able to accomplish it, and it means the world to my family and I that we get to participate in this. We are thankful to the Fetcho’s and so many close friends and family members who have stepped up and contributed financially to allow this race to happen. We were blown away and eternally grateful. We will honor a couple of these folks, in particular, closer to race day. This race means the world to us,” said Boone.

“Life has not been fantastic and fun here as of recent. My family has gone through a lot of adversity behind closed doors, and the thought of losing our race program has just been icing on the cake. I’m just hoping for a great run to hopefully cap off the years of success I’ve had at this track and make those who have supported me proud. There are many struggling family members and friends being represented in this race, so the personal side of me to compete and do well for them is immense,” he continued.

Boone said he wants to pay special honor on Saturday to Roy’s Meat Service of east Nashville, RaceReadySIM.com, Boiler Warehouse, and ATP Plumbing, Paving and Excavating Company - shining a spotlight on their tremendous support, both personally and professionally.

With this being Breast Cancer Awareness Night for the Fairgrounds Speedway on Saturday, it is notable to share that Jackson has historically recognized the memory of his aunt Cathy on all his race cars, who succumbed to the disease several years ago. He continues to be a strong advocate for cancer awareness and research.

Team co-owner Dylan Fetcho said he is happy to have his friend back behind the wheel for the team on Saturday. “We are excited to have Jackson back with us in the race car this week and we’re looking forward to finishing one spot better than we did the last time. Jackson and his family are good people, and this is a special race for all of us on many levels.”

Practice begins on Friday for all divisions. The complete schedule and ticket information can be found at www.nashvillefairgroundsspeedway.racing. Saturday’s events will be streamed live at RacingAmerica.tv.
