A press release shared to his the Jackson Hise Motorsports Facebook page states, ” After considerable thought and careful reflection, Jackson has made the decision to step away from Super Late Model racing to pursue new opportunities beyond the racetrack. While racing has been a significant part of his life, Jackson has chosen to focus on his education and plans to attend college as he works toward achieving new personal and professional goals.”

His explained, “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this decision, and it definitely wasn’t an easy one. I’m incredibly grateful for every opportunity I’ve been given, the memories I’ve made, and the people I’ve had the privilege of meeting throughout my racing career.”

He went on to thank those who have supported him through the years specifically Jason Fitzgerald and Ronnie Blair, “None of this would have been possible without the incredible people who stood behind me. I’m thankful for every friendship, every lesson, and every experience that racing has given me.”

While he is stepping away from super late model competition, he does hope to be back behind the wheel in the future, “Racing will always be a part of who I am, and I have no doubt I’ll be back behind the wheel somewhere down the road. For now, I’m excited to begin this next chapter and pursue the goals I’ve set for myself.”
