(Monday, March 15, 2010) Jonathan Eilen, driver of the #77 Eilen and Sons Trucking and Landscape Supplies Monte Carlo, started racing in the American Speed Association® Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment and Grandstay® Residential Suites Hotels series in 2007. He captured a victory in the series in both 2007 and 2008. While the Hampton, MN driver was winless in 2009 his performance was nothing short of impressive.

BURLINGTON, WI (Wednesday, May 06, 2009) – Jonathan Eilen won’t get this weekend off like most of the American Speed Association Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment teams, instead he will make his ARCA Re/Max Series debut this Saturday night as he will compete in the Buckle Up Kentucky 150 at Kentucky Speedway.

“I will be racing for Capital City Motorsports with Larry Moore, Justin Allgaier’s crew chief from last year who won the ARCA championship,” the Hampton, MN driver recently stated. “I will be driving the #38 Quaker Steak & Lube/Eilen Trucking Dodge.”

From the Jonathan Eilen Pits... On November 23, 2008, my brother, Jake Eilen, sadly lost his life in a one vehicle roll-over accident. The accident occurred on a Sunday evening in front of our home. Jake was 27 years old.

There are no words to describe the pain of losing a loved one. We are left only with broken hearts and treasured memories of a person who lived his life with wide-open passion.

Jake was a father, a husband, a son, a brother, a grandson, a friend, and larger than life to those who had the pleasure of sharing their lives with him. Yet, there are no words that can do justice in accurately describing Jake. He was so many things to so many people.
