Jett Praises Family and Sponsors for Success

MaddieMae Driskell Bratt, FL

It’s Sunday afternoon in Orange By Chuck Corder Park and Kody Jett is right where he loves to be: Attending to a hot grill and surrounded by those nearest to his heart. A slab of marbleized steaks, baked potatoes, corn and asparagus all find their way onto the grill thanks to Jett. These family feasts don’t happen as often as the Jetts would like because racing and running a successful family business can sometimes interfere.

“If I’m not pouring concrete, I’m at a racetrack somewhere,” said Kody Jett, who competes in the first-year Faith Chapel Outlaw Stocks class and oversees jobs across the southeast for Jett Concrete during the week.

So when these gatherings do occur, the 23-year-old Jett and wife Reba, expecting in the fall, like to go all out. The family had ample opportunities to celebrate together last month. Jett owned June at Five Flags, winning both 35-lap features. “It was unbelievable, to say the least,” Jett said. “It has easily been a dream come true.” He’s hoping to keep the dream alive. The Jett Concrete racing team is one the Five Flags faithful have gotten to know well over the last decade. Kurt, Kody’s older brother, won the 2007 Modifieds Snowball Derby and Jeff Choquette won the most recent Blizzard Series race last month. (con’t on our web site)

Victory has Langham Picturing Repeat Jonathan Langham had zero plans to race this season. A part of him, deep down, might tell you he also had zero desire to race in The Dock on Pensacola Beach Sportsmen series this season. Langham’s racing career, highlighted by three track championships in his native Alabama, hit a rough patch the last five years. But all it took was a gentle persuasion from Howard Langham, Jonathan’s dad and a Gulf Coast short track veteran, to rekindle the fire. “Let’s load the car up. We’ve gotta be in Pensacola to pick up some parts anyway,” Howard Langham told his 28-year-old son a few months ago. A chance trip to Five Flags turned into a heat victory for Jonathan Langham, who went onto finish fourth in the 25-lap feature race that evening. The younger Langham has only gotten better with a dominant past month of racing at the famed half-mile asphalt oval. Langham owned June, highlighted by his first career victory at Pensacola’s high banks last time out two Fridays ago. He hopes his luck continues in July, “Honestly, these last few weeks have meant a lot,” Langham said. “I’m chomping at the bit for Friday to hurry up and get here, so I can do it again.”
