Olson knows peaks and valleys of short track racing

Seneca native Jeff Olson has seen the ups and downs while being involved in the sport of racing stock cars. To some degree, it may be more classified as peaks and valleys.

Back in 2008, Olson hit his peak while competing in the Mid-American Division at the Grundy Speedway when he was declared the track champion that year. Since then, Olson has seen the valley side of the sport as he's tried to balance time with his wife, Whitney, and his son, Race, time under the hood of his car, and time behind the wheel.

Still, racing has been such and integral part of Olson's life, and there was no better time than in 2008 and no greater struggle since.
