Jeremy Clements is carrying on a family tradition long rooted in NASCAR. He is the grandson of famed NASCAR owner and renowned engine builder, Crawford Clements. Jeremy’s uncle, Louis Clements, was a Championship Crew Chief with Rex White. Together, Crawford and Louis spent over 25 years making history with their engine development programs and ownership of race cars.

Today, his father and Jeremy Clements Racing Team owner, Tony Clements, continues to run Clements Automotive, a company started by Crawford in 1965. Clements Automotive is a recognized leader in racing and performance engine building, specializing in building complete racing engines, cylinder head services, dyno testing, custom porting, and CNC machining for virtually all types of racing applications, including ARCA, Pro Cup, Dirt Late Model, and NASCAR.

With racing in his blood and plenty of horsepower in his daily life, Jeremy continues the tradition.

Founded in 2010, Jeremy Clements Racing is a father-and-son–owned, family-operated team, competing full-time in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, JCR fields the No. 51 Chevrolet driven by Jeremy Clements and has built its reputation as one of the sport’s most resilient independent organizations.

In an era dominated by large, multi-car teams backed by substantial resources, Jeremy Clements Racing has remained a rare independent success story. That foundation enters a new chapter beginning in 2026, as JCR aligns with the Haas Factory Team (HFT) in a strategic move designed to elevate the team’s competitive potential.

Starting in 2026, JCR cars will be built out of the Haas Factory Team shop in Kannapolis, North Carolina, and powered by Hendrick engines — combining the team’s proven grit and identity with world-class technical infrastructure to compete at the highest level.

JCR has a long list of achievements highlighted by Jeremy’s first career win at Road America 2017 and second career win in the summer of 2022 at Daytona and 530 career starts and counting.  They ended the 2025 season 21st in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series driver points standings.
