April 15th, 2012 - The team set out to enter a pair of Corn Belt Clash Series events over the weekend with a Friday race at Davenport Speedway (Davenport, Iowa) and Peoria Speedway (Peoria, Iowa). However, Mother Nature would have different ideas nixing both shows. After being rained out on Saturday night officials attempted to run the Peoria event on Sunday evening, but heavy rain would arrive during heat race action, again nixing the program. The team will take the upcoming weekend off from racing before returing to action on April 27th-28th at the Great American Dirt Track (Jetmore, Kansas) for a pair of events with the Mid America Racing Series (MARS).
April 7th, 2012 - On Saturday night the team traveled to I-80 Speedway (Greenwood, Louisiana) for the opener for the Corn Belt Clash. The $3,000-to-win event was also sanctioned by the Lucas Oil MLRA Super Late Model tour as 45 cars entered the event. He started the night by finishing second in his heat race to lock into the eighth starting spot for the 40 lap, main event. Unfortunately, for the second straight night Jason would see a top ten run in the feature come to an end with just a few laps remaining as a flat tire sidelined him to a 22nd place finish in the final rundown.

April 6th, 2012 - Jason opened his 2012 campaign on Friday night at the Thunderbird Speedway (Muskogee, Oklahoma) in the $5,555-to-win, Charlie Fulton Memorial. The Mid America Racing Series (MARS) sanctioned event saw a strong field of 36 competitors register for battle around the historic, 1/2 mile. Rauen started his night by advancing from the sixth starting spot in his heat to a fourth place finish, which locked him into the 14th starting spot for the 55 lap feature. Early in the feature he would get spun, forcing him to the tail of the field. He would quickly charge through the field, reaching as high as the seventh position, before a flat tire with two laps remaining ending his night. He was credited with a 12th place finish in the final rundown. Full results are available at www.MARSRacingSeries.com.
October 18th, 2011 - The team originally planned to travel to Whynot Motorsports Park (Meridian, Mississippi) this coming weekend, October 21st-22nd, for the 17th Annual Fall Classic. However, due to a busy work schedule the team will now be taking the weekend off.
October 15th, 2011 - It was back to action with the Corn Belt Clash Super Late Model tour over the weekend with a doubleheader at at Elko Speedway (Elko, Minnesota). On Friday night Jason started second and chased leader, Lance Mathees, early in the event before slipping by in lapped traffic to take over the top spot near the race's mid-stage. Rauen would lead until late in the race when Mathees slipped by for the lead. Jason would go on to finish second in the $2,500-to-win event.
On Saturday night a $3,000-to-win, tour event was held and Jason earned the fifth starting spot for the main event. During the course of the event he would methodically work his way forward before using a high-side pass with just a few laps remaining to take the lead from Lance Mathees. Rauen went on to lead the final two laps on his way to his fourth win of the year, which came over Mathees, Tim Isenberg, Justin Mitchell, and Jill George.

October 1st, 2011 - Saturday night marked the third and final night of the 8th Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Nationals at Knoxville Raceway, and via his performances on the preliminary nights, Rauen earned the eleventh starting spot for the 100 lap, $40,000-to-win event as the cameras of SPEED TV taped everything for a future broadcast. Unfortunately for Jason, mechanical woes would plague him early and often in the finale, and he would only be able to manage a twenty-seventh place finish in the final rundown of the richest payback of the season. Overall it was still a great run for Rauen and the team as he continues to make noise in big events in 2011. Full results are available at www.LucasDirt.com
