Three R's
One Las Vegas man combines racing, religion and rectitude to achieve dream
BY MATT WARD
Jace Meier is on a vision quest. His began when he was a small child and
he took his first spin in a go-kart.
Few know by grade school exactly what they will do as adults. Fewer still
accomplish those early goals. Meier is one of those very few.
The 18-year-old is attending college in North Carolina. He periodically
makes his way home to race in NASCAR late-model events on the West Coast.
He experienced tire trouble during the recent Fall Classic at the Las
Vegas Motor Speedway's Bullring. He sat just behind pole position at
the beginning of one of the late model races and had a shot at winning
if not for the tires. He finished 21st.

Belmont Abbey, a liberal arts college run by Benedictine monks
just outside of Charlotte, N.C., gave Jace Meier a full-ride
scholarship. The school even sponsored his car for his LV race.

When he's not at college
in North Carolina, Jace Meier makes his way home for races in
NASCAR late-model events on the West Coast, like this one in
November at the LVMS Bullring.
