JEGS RACER OF THE MONTH - Daniel Gossett

Sunday afternoon at the Dolaca Motorplex in Western Texas, Daniel Gossett lines up for a final round run against Robert Fain at the GITGO Bracket Racing Series. Daniel hits a .015 light and uses it to take the finish line and a $2500 check. As any multi-champion in any sport will tell you – ‘It always feels as good as the first time. Maybe even better.’

Daniel, Benny & Clay
Daniel, who comes from a family of racers, knows winning. The 28 year old has taken crowns at multiple tracks and thousands of dollars at big buck races. With youth and heritage in his side, winning will no doubt be a part of Daniel for many years.

Daniel first staged at a dragstrip at the age of fifteen in a 1970 Chevy truck called ‘Green Bean.’ He was introduced to the sport by - who he calls ‘the real driver in the family’ – his father Benny. Benny founded the family business, G&G Automotive and began racing in the mid ‘70s.

Though he won’t tell you himself, Benny holds his own share of track crowns around Texas and has given the racing bug (and the talent) to the entire family. His wife Mary holds a few championships from Wall Dragway, his thirteen year old daughter, Jakalyn, holds the 2002 championship from Odessa and even his book worm son Clay (pre-med at Angelo State) has racked up quit a few wins.

Daniel wins CITGO Series
These days Daniel takes the finish line in a ’48 Austin decaled with his sponsor – The Corner Stop. In this car Daniel has claimed wins at the B&M, track championships in Texas and has stayed a constant presence in the IHRA points. He also holds the #4 spot in the national standings of the CITGO Bracket Racing Series, just two points out of first.

For Daniel, family success may be what drives him at the track. He may however just be a driven person period. Daniel is acting manager of the successful San Angelo based G&G Automotive as well as an eight year husband to high school sweetheart Heather. Few parts of his life lack focus and dedication according to his father.

To find out more about Daniel and the entire Gossett family, give them a call at 325-947-0588.
