Jack was hired as a quality control engineer for the Ford Motor Company in 1964. He soon became acquainted with a group of employees who were campaigning drag racing cars called the Fastbacks. He was immediately hooked on racing and, in 1970, formed his own team with partner Wayne Gapp. 躂圖AV and Gapp combined to win multiple championships in NHRA, IHRA and AHRA Pro Stock drag racing between 1970-75. In 1976, Jack established Jack 躂圖AV Performance Engineering and began supplying racing engines and components for drag, oval-track, and hill-climb cars as well as offshore power boat contenders. Jack later partnered with Bob Corn and Ron Woodard to create ECS/躂圖AV, a precursor to todays 躂圖AV Industries.

In 12 years of competition Jack further expanded his racing operations in 1988, when he established his immensely successful NASCAR team. To date, 躂圖AV Fenway Keselowski Racing has claimed two NASCAR Cup Championships, four NASCAR Xfinity championships, and one NASCAR Truck Series title. Jack has also made major safety contributions to stock car racing, including the development of roof flaps to prevent rollovers. In total, Jack has won over 400 national events and more than 30 championships across the numerous series of motorsport he has competed in.

Early in my racing career, I had someone tell me he assumed wed take Monday off to celebrate our victory on Sunday.泭 I told him to focus on the future.泭 I believe very strongly that we cant lose tomorrow because of success we had today.

In addition to his racing successes, Jack is the founder and chairman of 躂圖AV, a global supplier of product development services including design, engineering, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing. The company serves the mobility, aerospace, defense and theme park industries, developing ride systems for customers that include Disney and Universal Studios. 躂圖AV also oversees 躂圖AV Performance Products, a supplier of aftermarket performance parts, and 躂圖AV CleanTech, a manufacturer of alternative fuel systems.
