I know I'm biased because Jason is my friend, but I think his win was one of the highlights of this year's show, if not the biggest highlight. It was the classic battle of David vs. Goliath, a guy who drives a UPS truck vs. a guy who has a large trucking company, a guy with a huge budget vs. a guy who builds almost everything himself because he has a really, really, really small budget.
Congratulations to Jason for an excellent driving job and to Craig Smith for nailing an absolutely perfect setup. I know everyone involved with the tractor is probably still grinning ear to ear.

I've heard enough about the super farm bs. Let's talk about the best class of the show. I'd like to say it was awesome to see a self made tractor such as Jason Hootman come down and put the smack down with the little Ford! Great job to the Commander team!

very true

that's correct enough of the superfarm bs, did nfms check the alcohol tractors for fuel to make sure there was no nitro or additives to gain power, pretty easy gain power in fuel with alcohol powered vehicles. |

Congrats Jason on what was probably the smoothest pass of the entire show! Well deserved win. |

Congratulations to Jason and the Hootman Custom Tractor team effort. Jason is a very innovative builder with artwork quality results. Like most things the total is the sum of many parts. The motor and Jasons foundation skills are largely from Marks efforts, Chad, Craig H., Jake, are all responsible for inputs. Craig Smith is an important component in everything from set up to build up. Nice to see hard work and good guy's finish first. |

I know there are lots of different classes and tractors out there and I personally am a IH fan and run a IH pulling tractor in the profiled class here in MO. I do not know Jason but his win in the LSS class the other afternoon give me that old "hometown local boy winning " kind of feeling. It was good for the sport to be able to see a team win it that wasn't a big name, but don't get me wrong I enjoy watching them all run and that is one of the reasons we go to the NFMS pull every year. 1st timeI ever seeing Jason run and he did a awesome job with the tractor and his behind the scene crew do a great job also. |

I don't know Jason all that well, but it's obvious he's meticulous and a stickler for details. That was one of the nicest passes of the whole NFMS pull, can't say enough good about him and his whole team. You can tell how much hard work, effort and time was spent on that tractor. Congratulations are very much in order and I am proud to see down to earth folks like him and his family doing good! Great performance..... it made the pull for me. Thanks alot guys! |

Congrats to Jason and his crew. That was the best pass I've seen in a long time. Sounded like it turned about 2000 RPM more than anyone else in the class! Great machine and great run. Congrats again.

I want to thank everyone that has called, texted and emailed me about the win. As I have said before, I could not have done it without my family, Craig Smith, my dad and everyone that has helped along the way. The guys in the LSS class are some of the best in the sport and I really think that the class put on a pretty darn good show for the fans. It really takes everyone in the class to make this all happen. Thanks to my family and crew and all the pullers in the class. That was a night I will never forget. |
