Meier leads SPEED-TV reality show

Las Vegas, NV – Las Vegas race car driver Jace Meier is in first place after the first episode of the live-action mini-series, FORZA MOTORSPORT SHOWDOWN being aired on SPEED, the automotive lifestyle and motor sports network.  Last week’s episode ended with Meier getting top prize of a night’s stay in the Château Élan Winery & Resort.

Jace Meier was chosen from thousands of U.S. racers to compete in the $100,000 winner-take-all contest.  He was the youngest out of the six competitive drivers chosen, a diverse group from across the U.S. 

Each episode follows a group of six racers as they compete in motorsports disciplines such as drag racing, road racing, autocross and drifting.  Forza Motorsport Showdown is designed to be the ultimate test of high-performance driving and mechanical skills.  The second episode airs this Wednesday, February 28th at 8:00 p.m..

Jace Meier is set to enter his fifth year of competitive racing and was selected to drive for High Point Racing as part of the 2007 Late Model Division at Irwindale Speedway.  Tim Huddleston, a past Late Model division champion and owner of one of the top Late Model teams in Southern California, chose Meier to drive in the car that track champion Travis Thirkettle drove last season.  The Ron Sutton Winner’s Circle Development Driver is excited about the upcoming season.

Meier was named “Rookie of the Year” in the NASCAR Late Model division at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this season.  In addition, he ran with USAC as part of the California Ford Focus Midget Pavement series, winning three races and four poles in the past two seasons.  

Meier is a 17 year old Las Vegas native.  When he isn’t racing, Meier is an honor student at Spring Valley High School and a very active member in his school and the community, in addition to serving as a motivational speaker.
