On his day, there is no rider in the paddock Jeffrey Carver, Jr., cannot defeat straight up. The only thing that prevented him from taking the next step to full-on championship contender status was the ability to tap into that stunning form on a more consistent basis.
The 2007 AMA Dirt Track Horizon Award winner and 2010 GNC2 champion, Carver strung together several seasons in which he floated around the tail-end of the championship top ten after graduating to the premier category in 2011.
In 2017, he found a new level. From ‘17-’20, he logged four consecutive seasons in which he ranked seventh or better, scoring three wins and 17 podiums over that span. And despite only competing in select races in ‘21 and ‘22, Carver showed the capability to instantly shake off the rust and tap into that front-running speed.
A cerebral racer who brings a mystical mindset to the racetrack, Carver is among the most self-aware riders when it comes to the importance of the mental side of racing. He also boasts an exciting riding style and is more than willing to try unconventional lines in the pursuit of ever greater speed.
And for racing trivia buffs, Carver appears set to go down in the history books as the last man to win a Main Event on the venerable Harley-Davidson XR750 with his 2017 triumph at the Lone Star Half-Mile.
