Key Information

Racing career

[edit]

Schuler made his first starts in the Busch Series in 2000 when fellow Cambridge native and childhood friend Matt Kenseth, a full-time Cup Series driver, offered him a ride for twelve races in the No. 17 Visine Chevy for Reiser Enterprises that Kenseth was driving part-time.[1] His best finish on the year was 14th at both Gateway (where he led two laps) and at New Hampshire. Schuler struggled, only earning four top-20 finishes, leading to his release at the end of the season in favor of Clay Rogers.

Schuler only made two starts in 2001, both for Buckshot Racing. Schuler finished 41st at Gateway and 35th at Pikes Peak in the No. 04, a second part-time car for the team.

Schuler only ran five times in 2002, all for the Havill-Spoerl Racing team. However, the team did not finish any of the starts, and Schuler's best finish was a pair of 36ths.

Schuler made the most races of his career in 2003, when Havill-Spoerl went full-time and Schuler made twenty-seven starts. His best run (and career finish) came at Nashville, where he finished 13th. In addition, Schuler added on two more top-twenties at Talladega and Gateway. At Pikes Peak, Schuler led eleven laps under caution before falling out in 28th. Schuler finished 28th in points, the highest he has ever ranked in NASCAR.

Schuler began 2004 by making six starts for Davis Motorsports in the No. 10 Chevy. Schuler finished four of those starts and had a best finish of 27th at North Carolina Speedway. He also made a start for Allen Racing at the Milwaukee Mile, where he finished 42nd.

After being without a ride for the 2005 season, Schuler returned to Wisconsin to drive late models and bought Pathfinder Chassis / JJ Motorsports Racing in 2005 along with Jon Wood based on Kenseth's recommendation; they moved the race car manufacturing shop to Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.[1] In 2010, he was crew chief for Ross Kenseth and Ty Majeski.[2]

Post-racing career

Business and fabrication work

Following the end of his NASCAR Busch Series career in 2004, Jason Schuler returned to competing in Wisconsin late model racing in 2005. In that same year, he partnered with Joe Wood to purchase Pathfinder Chassis, a manufacturer of race car chassis. The business is headquartered in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Under Schuler and Wood's ownership, Pathfinder Chassis introduced an updated soft spring, big bar chassis design and produced winning race cars for several Midwest drivers, including NASCAR competitors Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart, Scott Wimmer, Travis Kvapil, and Ross Kenseth. The manufacturing operates under JJ Fabrication, Inc., which builds asphalt late model race cars—including offset and perimeter designs—while also providing chassis repair, shock service for brands like JRI, Penske, and Afco, quick change rear end service, and a full inventory of parts. Schuler remains involved in the business, supplying chassis and expertise to short-track competitors. As of 2024, Pathfinder Chassis—built by industry veterans including Schuler, Joe Wood, and Lars Johnson—supports drivers in series such as the ASA Midwest Tour. In 2010, Schuler served as crew chief for driver Ty Majeski during his early stock car campaigns.
